I am thinking possibly M7? Although it is fairly low in the sky ATM it is a naked eye object at my place still. I you manage to glimpse it naked eye that would be the most likely candidate.
It follows the 2 bright stars that make the "Stinger" in Scorpios tail and they point almost directly at it.
Having said that, this area is filled with objects, open clusters, globulars, brights nebs, planetary nebs and dark nebs, so an exact ID may be difficult. Do you have star charts or a decent planetarium program to assist you?
