Messier 82 for me. It limps briefly to only 3 degrees above the horizon during the wet season. I saw the nearby M81 on first attempt, but it took me several more attempts and over 2years to find M82, in my 8inch Newtonian. That was in 1985 and I still rate it as my most difficult find with the equipment that I had.
And that ticked off my veiwing of the entire Messier collection (all 110) from the Cairns region.
