Listings for brightest star magnitudes in clusters

Are there any good sources, online or otherwise of data of the magnitudes of the brightest star(s) in both open and globular clusters?
Eicher's "Deep-Sky Observing With Small Telescopes" has a small but useful table of info for open clusters though the table for globulars lacks the "bright star magnitude" that the open cluster table has.
Burnham's Celestial Handbook often lists the star magnitude for many globulars but the figures seem too dim for what I'm seeing and may reflect the average rather than brightest stars in the cluster.
Are there any other sources for both kinds of clusters where I can get the info? The brightest-star-magnitude listing is extremely relevant in determining how much if any resolution will be seen, and I'm surprised there aren't more sources on this.
Messier 45.com doesn't appear to have the info.
