Bright globulars and smaller planetaries are good objects to hunt for from a red zone. I have seen lots of them in the Sagittarius, Scorpius and Ophiuchus. The Messier globulars I can see with my 10-inch from home, and open clusters such as M-6, NGC-6231, NGC-6124, M-11, M-25 and many others show up nicely too. Planetary nebulae such as NGC-6302 in Scorpius and NGC-6818, M-27 and M-57 are good choices. For more challenging planetary nebula, try NGC-6563, 6565, 6572, NGC-6309, 6440 and at high power, NGC-6629. Use nebula filters if you have them. M-8 and M-17 can be seen from light polluted areas with a O-III or narrowband filter.
