Is there a setting to see galaxies that are dimmer than say 15th mag? I use a large dob and I use to use Megastar years ago. It would show me very dim galaxy mag values. For example there's a group of 17+ mag galaxies just off the end of NGC4565 that I use to hunt. Is there a setting to show very dim galaxies?

You need to use an extended dso catalog. See user guide to details
