Nice image. Like many others, you use the generic term “Sagittarius Star Cloud” as the name for Messier 24. As an astronomy outreacher I have encountered more than one person who believes Messier 24 is the much larger cloud coming out of the Teapot. This confusion could be cleared up if the prefixes "small" and "large" are used for each star cloud.
