Is there a comet currently in Scorpius?

Hi all,

I was out looking at Scorpius early this morning and I saw what I thought was a faint globular cluster, but I couldn't find any mention of it on my star chart, which isn't a very detailed one.

After a bit of research on google this morning, I still can't find any mention of it.
So I thought it might be a comet?

I was between M7 and Shaula (Lambda Sco.) close to a star.
Could this be a comet, and if so is it a known one???

I hope it's not cloudy tonight so I can check it again, and do a sketch.
I should have done a sketch this morning, that'll teach me!

Ta, Molly.
