you will get a terrific view of NGC 6207 and IC 4617. At about 200x plus on a night of steady air and exceptional "seeing" -- you can sometimes observe the famous "propeller" in M13. Can you see M13 with the naked eye unaided by a telescope from the dark skies at your location? I've never seen it with the naked eye either in Joshua Tree; the Mojave; the Anza-Borrego or at Mt. Pinos here in California. You likely already have this book Deep Sky Wonders by Walter Scott Houston but if not you should buy it. You can get it here used: https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/deep-sky-wonders/author/walter-scott/
