Hi Shawn,
Here's one way to find the magnitudes of the stars in your FOV. Open the Interactive Atlas & set the View options to label the star magnitudes in the desired range. I tried the open cluster M 38 as an example because you didn't specify a target object. There are many stars in your range of interest.
You can label all of the stars as shown here: [attachment=2580]
If that's overkill, try selecting the 'Very Dense' option as shown here: [attachment=2581]
There's probably a setting that will work better for your actual target object. You mentioned a nebula, but I figured stars are stars for this purpose.
Hope this helps, if not ask some more questions
