Top 10 List for Summer

What are the top 10-20 (or more) knock your socks off DSOs to show a beginner?

(in very dark skies in central oregon's star party aug 25/26, with a 6"Mak, binoculars, and if i can finish by then, a 13.1" dob)

Nothing is too obvious. We're talking beginner here. Thank you in advance for helping me make a great observing list.

There are many possibilities, of course, but off the top of my head I'll say (depending upon the horizons available), B86 (the Ink Spot), M8, M11, M17, M22, M24, M27, M57, Collinder 399 (binoculars), and the Veil Nebula complex (with the 13.1" and a nebula filter).

There are also obvious spring and fall choices such as M13 and M31 as well, not to mention binary and carbon stars.
