Any good freeware star charting programs?

Well, it seems it's completely impossible to find magnitudes for most DSOs on the internet, and the sites that do have 'em, make your brain explode. Does anyone know of any star charting program that has magnitudes for DSOs, particularly for galaxies, including the NGC, UGC, MCG and PGC catalogues? I don't want something where you need to be a Rhodes scholar to decipher thousands of lines of numbers and jargon, I want something that simply gives me the visual magnitude.
