WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
M24 is an open cluster with a somewhat oval shape. Look at it with the binoculars, then with a telescope look for another cluster in the heart of M24. This is NGC 6603 and it shows up as a dense concentration within M24. NGC 6603 shows up with a formation of a very small, tight knit “V.”
