Nicely done Alan. According to astrometry.net:

Your field contains:
Part of the constellation Sagittarius (Sgr)
Part of the constellation Serpens (Ser)
The star Alnasl
The star Media
The star Kaus Borealis
NGC 6383
NGC 6494 / M 23
NGC 6514 / M 20 / Trifid nebula
NGC 6526
NGC 6523 / Hourglass nebula / Lagoon nebula / M 8
IC 4701
NGC 6604
NGC 6611 / Eagle nebula / M 16
NGC 6618 / M 17 / Omega nebula
IC 4715
NGC 6656 / M 22

That only includes named stars and it doesn't know how to report any dark nebulae.
