M14 appeared as a faint fuzzy half way and east of the line between Celabrai and Sabik. I could not make out any individual stars but it was equally 'dense' within the cluster.
There was an arc (like the one in Scorpius that includes Graffias). It was to the NW along with a much brighter star in the west. Two there stars appeared in the FOV as well.
