How the hell do you manage all this sessions with this pooey weather??!! You're a real warrior mate!
M80 is nice, if only it was much closer
I see maybe 2 dozen v. faint stars in its outer reaches with the 12", but this is based on only 1 observation for obvious reasons.
I've observed 6751 aswell, heres my notes. Seems like yours and my impressions correlate pretty well

PNe, Sagittarius, RA 19 05 56, Dec -5 59 32, Size = 21x21" , Mag V = 11.5
Located along a chain of 4 mag 12-14 stars, of which the planetary's 14th mag central star makes up one. Circular at 267x, with the central star easily seen despite being mag 14.5. Increasing magnification to 381x and OIII filter offered only modest improvement, however I suspected slight E-W elongation, andthe very central regions of the neb seemed to have lower sfc brightness than the surrounding areas. At 762x - Slight, very slight E-W elongation, somewhat uneven sfc brightness and the central region immediately in the vicinity of the central star appeared obviously darker than the remainder of the cloud.
