Hi Antony I would say it is M7 close to the two stars of the stingers in Scorpius.
It is a large open cluster, and is seen with the naked eye under all but the most light polluted conditions.
In a scope of say 8" and the eyepieces you mentioned,the cluster would just be resolved into lots of stars.
You don't say what telescope you are using, so it can make identification difficult.
Cheers
