For me, looking at Eta Carina neb and M42 in my old 6" reflector. I had never looked through an astronomical telescope before - it was a big WOW! and was obviously hooked.
More recently, the Saturn Nebula with my 12" SW, seeing colour-vision 'kick in' at the eyepiece was awesome, the green / blue hues were fantastic. And also more recently, Tarantula Neb through the 12" so many things to explore in the LMC.
