the constellation Sagittarius.

is actually a part of the Milky Way.

Find/Identify
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.
