Whats the one item you really want to see?

[ollypenrice]

the milky way from another galaxy.

My choice exactly! Can I have it face-on please?

Olly

[Earl]

Everything... just in case i miss something out

[Astro Imp]

So difficult to narrow one's choice to one object as there is so much I have yet to see.

If you push me have to say one of the many great objects in the southern hemisphere, I'd be happy with Omega Centauri.

[cantharis]

A really good comet, visible in the daytime.

[shinok]

Anything other then clouds.

HA HA HA i fully agree

the milky way from another galaxy.

Errrr, wouldn't it be lot like looking at Andromeda from the Milky Way?

thats a fair point, perhaps i should say view the milky way from a distance where its far enough away that we see it in its entirity but close enough to get some real detail. wonder what the ideal distance would be ? the milky way is roughly what , 100,000 l/years across and andromeda is 2.5 million l/years away.okay how about say from 500,000 l/years out ?

Another good comet would be nice- and not asking too much either.

I think you would get a good view from the Magellanic Clouds.

[L8-Nite]

I would like to witness an actual impact forming a crater, preferably while viewing the Moon.

[Ganymede12]

I know that all the Galaxy's are arranged into a web like structure, galactic filaments. I'd love to travel to one of the voids between the filaments and look at one of these colossal structures!

I don't think the word "colossal" does them justice.

[Brighton Belle]

ANYTHING ANYTHING ANYTHING !!!

Constant fog and heavy cloud over Sussex

[Matt Scunthorpe]

The LMC and SMC would be pretty amazing to see. I think an 'SGL down under' trip is in order

[foundaplanet]

The universe from the other side of the edge.

[tone2012]

i would love to view earth from the moon, or be one of the 1st to find a new planet

[Moonshane]

please keep this to the original type of objects requested (i.e. astronomy related).

mine would also be Earth from space I think.

1. The sombrero galaxy. 2. The Milky Way (naked eye). 3. Neptune. 4. The pillars. 5. The horsehead. And finally a comet, not asking much really.
