Orion Nebula. No contest. It’s gorgeous even in a small telescope. #askanastronomer

Great #askanastronomer question! Depends where in the track you are, but maximum totality for a given eclipse depends on the Moon’s distance from Earth and (less so) on Earth’s distance from the Sun. If orbits were circular, eclipses would be nearly the same length.

What determines the duration of totality of a solar eclipse? (I was struck by the difference in length of totality of the 2026 and 2027 eclipses.)
