If what you saw looks like this, you have indeed seen the Dumbell Nebula. NGC-3242 or the Ghost of Jupiter couldn't have been what you've seen, because it sets soon after the Sun. Below is a drawing of M-27, whose NGC number is NGC-6853. It's high in the sky to the east around 10 p.m. local time and bright enough to punch through a lot of moonlight or light pollution.
