The first target I ever observed through a telescope from the Northern Hemisphere was M51 through Larry Mitchell's 36" Obsession.

That view will be etched on my brain forever. It is possibly the single best telescopic view I have ever had. Either that, or Eta Carina through our 3RF 12" binocular telescope rate as my #1.
