M18 is a relatively dim open star cluster. Messier 18 is located between two other prominent Messier objects, Messier 17 (the Omega Nebula) and Messier 24 (the Sagittarius Star Cloud). It can be difficult to find because it is quite small, distant and invisible to the naked eye. It also contains a small amount of dust and nebulosity.
