Newcomer / Intro Nearest black holes?

[vmk]

I haven't found a list of systems with black holes. I'd like to see a black hole. What is the easiest black hole system to visit? I've also read that it may be difficult to detect a black hole without Advanced Discovery Scanner. Are there any easy ones?
