First black hole experience

So, I'm staring in childish wonder and taking screenshots at Mintaka B, the first black hole I've been to :eek:

Sorry for all of you for who this sort of thing has become mundane! But on a rainy day in the East Midlands it made me smile :)
 
The first time you see one is indeed a memorable event, I spent around an hour flying around the first one I visited. Took a lot of pictures and had a great time seeing it distort nebulae and stars.

I'm currently (as in RIGHT NOW) in NGC 7822, the black hole paradise of the Galaxy! It does become a bit mundane, but I still remember the first few black holes I encountered: AMAZING feeling! Good to see that people experience these stellar bodies with awe and wonder still!

Maybe it's a bit much to ask for, but I would LOVE to see accretion disks. I have seen quite a few black holes very near huge stars (they are obviously in the process of devouring them) and it would be AWESOME to see their binary star elongated and slowly being sucked into the black hole, forming a disk around the event horizon!
Just imagine this in the game:
