I seldom scan the sky anymore with binoculars, let alone my telescope, but for those of you looking for low investment-high enjoyment astronomy, finding dense clusters or stars or galaxies is thrilling. It’s like finding a treasure on the beach or an arrowhead - you never get tired of thousands of stars coming into view all of a sudden, especially in an open cluster, (or galaxies at higher powers).

I’m not good at seeking Messier objects, but just cruising Scorpius and Sagittarius just for starters, at random is a blast. You don’t need a telescope to appreciate His creation.
