Gamma Scuti is far to the south of the constellation, and a convenient star for hopping over to quite a number of Messier objects in nearby Sagittarius and Serpens.

The star is one binocular field to the south of alpha: binoculars.

With gamma Scuti at the eastern side of your glasses, M16, M17, and M18 are all visible (from north to south). Also due south of gamma Scuti one binocular field is M25 in Sagittarius.
