How many objects did you see with the naked eye ?

From a list from Brian Skiff I got this list of naked-eye objects:
ftp://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/bas/deepsky/nakedeye.dso

And I marked my trophies in bold so there is a lot to discover yet....
Although objects like California Nebula and IC1396 really require not only a UHC but also in the middle of the outback (or on top of Cerro Armazones or, even better Antarctica hightlands like Dome C).
I saw NGC7000 with a UHC.

What did you see ?

M2,3,4,5,6,7,8,11,13,15,16,17,20,22,23,24,25,31,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,41,
42,43,44,45,46,47,48,50,67,81,83?,92,93
