What this means is that it guarantees crystal - clear and contrast - rich views
of deep sky objects, like galaxies, nebulae, planets, and sparkling star clusters.
This cloud is the bright Milky Way patch slightly above the center of our image; among many
other Deep Sky objects (clusters and nebulae) one can find 10 more Messier objects in this image.

So there you go, nine
deep sky objects that you can impress you friends and family with.
Messier object number 24 is not a «true»
deep sky object, but a huge star cloud in Milky Way, a pseudo-cluster of stars spread thousands of light years along the line of sight, perceived through a chance tunnel in the interstellar dust.
The constellation is known for the Great Square of Pegasus, a familiar asterism in the northern sky, as well as for a number of bright stars and
deep sky objects, among them Messier 15 (NGC 7078, Cumulo de Pegaso), Stephan's Quintet of galaxies, the Einstein Cross (a gravitationally lensed quasar), and the unbarred spiral galaxy NGC 7742.
Monthly stargazing guides share where and when to find the constellations, planets,
deep sky objects, and events that can be seen with binoculars, a telescope, or the naked eye.
