CCDnavigator

Anyone know how CCDNavigator arrives at their "brightness" or magnitude values?

It lists a criteria of min brightness (mag) that can be set from 0 to 99?

They list M8 as magnitude 30! Something is not right in their (these) values!

I ask this as I'm trying to filter target criteria to a smaller list but their magnitude values are all wonky making it difficult! I searched their forum but found nada & their help file is ..poor..at best.

Anyone?
