Wow I was doubting if M8 was within reach at all. Must have been exciting to horizon hug.

All it needs is a clear sea horizon looking down south to Estonia

You wouldn't happen to have a sketch of M8?

M22, M28 and most of the brighter deep sky objects in the Sagittarius-Scorpius are should be visible from Estonia as well. Just make sure you have a really good southern horizon!

The only ones I haven't been able to spot from here are M6, M7, M54, M55, M62, M69, M70 and M83.

My personal challenge has always been M83. It rises only about 30' above the horizon and I've been trying to hunt it down for years in vain
