Hi,
The unofficial motto of SkyTools is: "choose the right tool for the job." In practice, this often means using a different chart, because the reason there are different charts is that they have different purposes. My suggestion was for you use the more appropriate tool for the job. It addresses your question perfectly, just not in the way you imagined.
What you want is the ability to turn off "faint" moons that are not visible, right? But that is exactly what the eyepiece view does. It only shows what is visible. So please consider either using the eyepiece view of the finder chart for your scope, or opening the Eyepiece Viewer on the atlas. This will do what you need.
