As it is so bright and easily aquired, that should be fine mate. Just make sure you take a few short subs and matching darks to capture the core without burnout, and a few longer exposures to capture the fainter extremities (with matching darks also).
First, take your short darks and then your short images. Then when the night cools down further, take a couple of longer darks, to match the long exposures you will take next. Finally, when you have taken your last image, take some more matching darks at the cooler temperature.
Stack them using something like
Deep Sky Stacker and this will really fix up your digital noise during this warmer time of year.
You should wind up with plenty of awesomeness then.

P.S. I really would give Eta Carina a go, as it is nice and high in the sky all night at this time of year and a perfect target. Very easy to aquire and the star ETA itself is a good guide star.
Alternatively, Lagoon and Trifid come up early morning under Scorpius so you should get quite a few subs on them before the dawn takes over.
