If your magnification was rather low, it might have been the Sag Star Cloud.
Otherwise, I suspect M8 or thereabouts. It would have some nebulosity about
it, while a globular would have not had a really obvious nebulosity. Try
comparing the area to a chart and see what you come up with. The Milky Way has
lots of stars and DSO's, so you need to pin it down more than to "a portion of
the Milky Way".

Clear, Dark, Steady Skies!
