A couple of the images posted in the response above show stars at magnitude 19.11, 19.13 and 19.18 if the USNO figures are accurate.

These were taken with a C9.25 and Vixen 4" refractor from suburban skies in Brisbane. I have also managed to get down to mag 19 with my Vixen 4” refractor and the ST7 from suburban Brisbane; again, if the USNO values are correct.

Cheers
