M24 stellar region
.
This is a peculiar star region in the center of Milky Way, very rich of objects. The red nebula at bottom is IC 1283, while near the edge at top there is the open cluster M18. In the zoom here under are better visible the dark nebulas B92 (at right, remarkable because of the high aabsorption and the central star) and B93 (in the center, smaller), while at left there is the open cluster M24.
