asteroid question

[iamjulian]

Assuming a 6" reflector can see to about Mag 13, how many main belt asteroids would be visible, assuming decent viewing conditions?

Many thanks

Thanks for the link. It is a nice site with tonnes of useful information, though in the "small body database serach engine" I can find absolute magnitude, but no mention of apparent (unless I am missing something).
