Interesting project Bob.
I suppose southern stars such as Rigel Kentaurus and Acrux are difficult for you to access. Both doubles are easily resolved in daylight for me down here.
I find Antares and other brighter coloured stars quite spectacular against a blue sky.
Have you bagged all of the naked eye planets as day time observations? Saturn was the hardest for me as it needs to be well past quadrature in its orbit when a daylight observation is possible and is very faint against the bright sky.
Another challenge is to observe all 5 naked eye planets on the same day. I have managed this twice now.
