For objects that cannot be seen (or are at least very difficult to see!) from here in Colac, M51 easily rates as my favorite. Observed it at 9000ft on Mauna Kea last year in a C11 then through a little refractor (I think it was 80 or 100mm). The night was so clear NGC 5194 was even clear in the little scope. In the C11 you could see all this structure in the arms, lots of little star forming Ha regions.
