Matt, nice vista!

Gamma, delta, epsilon and lambda in Sagittarius.
Iota1, kappa and G in Scorpius.
You were correct in identifying M6, M7, M8.
M7 with central stars like an X, M6 (Butterfly Cluster) near bottom centre.
Just above and nearly touching G Sco is the globular cluster NGC 6441.
Lagoon Nebula (M8) with Trifid Nebula (M20) nearby and then open cluster M23.
Centre right, the Sagittarius Star Cloud M24.
Top right, open cluster M25, globular clusters M22 and M28.

Regards, Rob
