For a massive sun with planets close to it, Betelgeuse is the obvious suggestion especially Betelgeuse 2
Veil West nebula is pretty cool, CD-26 1339 is another nebula worth visiting

Lave has an asteroid base and there's a system where a station passes through an asteroid ring a few times a day. You could probably search that one on the Internet or yourube though.
High G planets
Massive suns with planets close to them
Planets with stupidly close orbits
Asteroid bases
Massive canyon planets
Weird looking stuff
Big craters
Great vistas
Weird nebulae
Black holes
Anything awesome you can think of
Good luck!
- Kyloalks DL-Y G17 4 (9.89G)
- Achenar 3 (6.85G)
Massive suns with planets close to them
- Betelgeuse 2
Planets with stupidly close orbits
- Skardee 1. If you can land and take off again without being destroyed by heat damage, you win the game.
Asteroid bases
- Stargazer, in Pleione
- Eagle Sector Secure Facility, in Eagle Sector IR-W d1-105
- Hind Mine, in T Tauri
- Station X, in Crab Sector DL-Y d9
- SEE: http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Asteroid_Base
Massive canyon planets
- Pomeche 2 C
- Ariel, in Sol (requires system permit).
Weird looking stuff
- It's all weird.
Big craters
- ???
Great vistas
- Any landable Rocky Ice World. Pomeche 2 C again. Try the dark side of one inside a nebula and see a spectacular night sky.
Weird nebulae
- Barnard's Loop (there's loads of cool nebulae in this region)
- The Bubble Nebula (https://inara.cz/cmdr-logbook/34280/15377/)
- LBN 623
- Ring Nebula
- Fine Ring Nebula
- Dumbbell Nebula
- Veil West Nebula
- Crab Nebula
Black holes
- Maia B
- Sagittarius A*
Anything awesome you can think of
- It's all awesome.
Good luck!

Do you watch the YouTube channel ghostgiraffe by any chance? Considering the latter recommendation.
On topic, in one of their later episodes (grand theft starship), they go on a planetary base right next to the sun, which the OP could also check out.
Come to sunny CALIFORNIA NEBULA.
We got Secret Alliance BioWeapons bases.
We got the only known location of giant pumpkins / moth eggs inoculated with virulent fungi!
We got Asteroid Bases.
We got barnacles.
We got fumaroles.
We got Bark Mounds.
We got a lighthouse, and if you've got room for a passenger cabin, we've got missions for you.
If you're coming and going to the bubble, you get to pass through the Thargoid hinterland of the Pleiades.

For both vistas and canyons, this moon puts Pomeche to shame and it's relatively close to the bubble. I've been to a few spots where the canyons are 20km deep.

Thargoid activity might be a possibility as well.
There's also many interesting things to see in the He Bo system, such as this.

Last but not least, if you're not afraid to travel a few thousand LY from Sol, Hades Edge is worth the visit and far more interesting than Betelgeuse (which is technically on the way) and Skardee 1.
Both ringed worlds in orbit are High G and offer some spectacular views. You'll need to be able to survive Skardee 1 to land. It's a large carbon star, which makes it all the more worthwhile to visit.

Head to Skardee 1 if you haven't been yet. It's a planet really close to the sun. Really close. Bring s few heat sinks. And it's in the bubble.
