So 'IF' the LMC counts as 'an object' then that is my pick.

Of course the LMC is an object , and probably the second richest view there is. ! Best seen in detail in 80mm or 100mm binoculars .
The Milky Way is the richest object astronomical object visible to the eye and only binoculars needed to study its richest parts. The naked eye has an apparent angle of view of about 140 degrees which will never be approached by Al Nagler's products !. Lying on the ground , under a pitch black sky , with the Scorpio center of the Milky Way overhead , with just my two eyes , and the sky filling all to my peripheral view is by far the most stunning view I can have in my 40 years of astronomical viewing
. Nothing can come close.
