The star catalogues that I've been using (in Stellarium, CdC, etc) run out pretty quickly around magnitude 18. I'm interested in correlating the faint dots in my stacked images with apparent magnitudes.
UCAC4? CdC, C2A and Hallo Northern Sky (and probably others) support it. It's available from USNO as a double sided DVD. An email to "brenda dot hicks at navy dot mil" should get you a copy. IIRC they are on Simbad now. There are patch files to fix known errors in it but I'd have to look up where to get them.

NOMAD if you've got a few hundred GB to spare. It works with CdC and C2A (and probably others).
