Over the last week or so I've had time to look at a number of different objects, mainly double stars such as Albireo, the Double Cluster and a number of different nebulae. And to be honest, I still say you can't beat a good double with two different coloured stars, like the orange and blue of Albireo.
I suppose a lot of it's the visual impact. A good double is clear and obvious where with my current setup, even the Ring Nebula is still small and inconspicuous. Perhaps a smaller eyepiece is called for, and the greater magnification that will bring.
But still, seeing the Double Cluster in all its glory is a seriously impressive sight and one that I'm more than happy to go back to again and again.
