Really difficult to pick just one

I guess it would have to be the view of M51 with a 13mm Ethos in a 20" David Lukehurst dobsonian at the 2010 SGL Star Party. Nice dark skies and the galaxy looked huge at 153x

It really did look like the photos with a full on "whirlpool" spiral structure, the "bridge" to NGC 5195 clearly defined and dark markings within that smaller galaxy clear too.

A simply amazing sight

That is something I really want to see. Just need the 20" scope, and a dark sky!

Saturn has been a favourite. Comet Holmes in 2007. The shadow cast by the Apennine Mountains on the Moon. M42 under a dark sky with a filter, and the Veil. Stephens Quintet. Flame Nebula.

Couldn't choose a number one.
