I've never seen Barnard's loop naked eye, or Lambda Orionis but to be fair, I'm often busy chasing easier targets (which is also the reason I'm yet to experiment much with the Abell's - too busy in Fornax and Virgo).
By the looks of it the cone nebula should similarly be naked eye under the right conditions - the blackwater skies imaging toolbox would seem to render them at a similar surface brightness.
To clarify, are we talking *naked eye*, or naked eye with UHC filter?
Cheers, I look forward to working through some of the challenges on your list!

Those are all through a telescope. A couple are visible to the Naked eye, but otherwise, I meant through a telescope.
