A deep dive into Messier's Object 24

what's up guys,
A deep dive into Messier 24.
Messier 24 is one of the few cataloged objects that is of a peculiar nature in Messsier's catalogue, as is M40.
Remembering that Messier's catalog appeared at that time, because to be a "successful astronomer", it was necessary to discover a comet, Charles' effort comes in this direction, cataloging everything that was diffuse enough to be confused with a comet, but that does not move across the sky, making it easier to identify a true cometary object.
M24 was presented as a grand angular object, which can be seen even with the naked eye in the quality skies during the Milky Way's passage through the zenith. The truth is that M24 is part of an arm of our galaxy, which has many stars and little dust obscuring our view, compared to the other regions of Sagittarius where the galactic nucleus is located.
In this image we can see two very dense regions obscured by the nebulae cataloged by Edward Barnard, B92 and B93, these are dark nebulae that are photographically very simple to capture, due to the high contrast with the sparkling background of stars.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
