On this page I collect my observations of the open star cluster M 18 (NGC 6613) in the constellation Sagittarius.
The open star cluster M 18 is located in the constellation Sagittarius and is, according to Stoyan, more or less a "sub par" star cluster. For me, it was attractive that I was able to observe it with the telescope together with M 17 in the field of view.
