It isn't a constellation, actually, but my favorite celestial sight is the Pleiades star cluster in Taurus. Through binoculars it is impressive enough; through an 8-inch telescope it mesmerizes me. :-)

Same here. Strange we should both say so. I have been interested in this since the 3rd or 4th grade when we were assigned the task of recreating constellations by punching holes in the bottom of a tin can with the correct pattern and hole size and then to be able to shine a light through it to project the pattern on a wall. By the way, a GREAT project for your kids, or other the young'uns who are about, to do with you.
Everyone else chose the Big or Little Dipper or Orion or Scorpio - somehow I chose Pleiades. Cool info on this and other clusters here.
Maybe this is why I've almost always driven Subarus?

It's on our flag, it has the second nearest star ( Proxima Centauri ), and with a bit of pracice you can use it as a compass!

To me, the whole vista of the night sky never ceases to amaze me.
