M-21 is small but much brighter than M-24. It is also in the star rich portion of the sky near the Milky Way. You may be able to spot it with binoculars, if you have a clear view of the constellation Sagittarius and a dark sky. The appearance in a small scope will be an "arrowhead" shaped grouping os stars. | |
