Me? Brown dwarfs and extra-solar planets.
Also, what already produced image from it do you like the most?
-
I would like to see stars circling the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.
- At infra-red wavelengths, it should be possible to see more stars than we can see with ground-based telescopes
- and see how active the accretion disk is now
- By watching nearby stars move over a period of years, we should be able to predict when the accretion disk might fire up again.

Are you sure? There is a theory that seeing too much of a black hole and its functioning may cause insanity.

Source, please?
There is very little of a black hole you can see from outside the event horizon
- And not a very long time that you can observe a black hole from within the event horizon.
- But I imagine that watching an accretion disk could be rather hypnotic
- provided you didn't get too close, and get toasted by X-Rays
- or join it and get turned into X-Rays
