Andy,
I'm using the GAIA catalogue which goes down to 21 mag ()
By reducing the limiting magnitude to 15 mag you can see you're recording stars down to 14 mag.


There seems to be a couple of anomalies....
HD 303308 (8mag) is missing??
and you record a 8 mag star at:
RA 10h44m58.85s
Dec -57d42m22.7s
(This shows as an 11.6mag in Simbad)
