2nd time ever, think i saw nebula?

So second time ever observing with my 8inch dob, and ive been trying to find the lagoon or trifid nebula (and finding out this is a seriously difficult hobby lol). Anyway i eventually found a really faint...greyish smudge. Had to look to the side of the eyepiece because looking directly at it made it pretty much impossible to see.

So does this sound about right for what i think i saw? crappy weather tonight aswell, clouds and lots of wind so im guessing it'll look even better on a calm night (oh and alot of lights on around my place).
