On this page I collect my observations of the Small Sagittarius Cloud M 24 in the constellation Sagittarius.
The Small Sagittarius Cloud M 24 is located in the constellation Sagittarius and is actually a part of the Milky Way.
Size: 1.5° x 0.5°(Stoyan)
Distance: --- (Stoyan)

Find: M 24 is located below M 17 and M 18. Simply move down from M 17 (nebula glow) and M 18 along the Milky Way to find M 24.
Identify: If you found M 17 with its nebula glow and move down beyond M 18 you can be fairly sure to have found M 24.
