Hi Alex
What you may find and you probably already know, is that most dark nebulae are associated with the galactic plane. A handy reference is the Night Sky Observers Guide, volume 4. The Glories Of The Milky Way. It is northern biased but extends to 54* south and includes Lupus, Puppis, Canis Major, Sagittarius, Corona Australis and Scorpius.
How they can have not included Centaurus, Crux and Carina and Musca in the so called Gloried Of etc. is extremely baffling, maybe they are earmarked for volume 5 ?
In the object lists for each constellation, they break up the objects by type. Open clusters, Globs, Bright Neb and Dark Nebulae.
If you use Stellarium, in the pop out menu on the left hand side, in the DSO section , it lists the different catalogues the software uses and you can tailor your preferences and includes the Barnard Cat. and Lynds Dark Neb ( LDN ) Doesn't give any real visual depictions , just where they are.
