Yes, and as per the comment you originally replied to - there isn’t a moment there where the star appears to “turn on”.
To put it more simply, a star sort of “fades in”. You wouldn’t really percieve the fade beginning, in the same way you don’t perceive hair growing…
Probably not the greatest analogy but I thought it’d help make sense of it…
Hair grows over time and yesterday it was under 3 inches today it’s over 3 inches. A tiny change over a threshold.
There’s a threshold of visibility for stars. Yesterday it wasn’t visible to the eye. Today it’s barely visible.

I think “barely visible” isn’t going to be a lightbulb turning on moment.
