 Messier Object 102
Evidently, Messier 102 (M102) is the last possibly "missing", or doubty, Messier object.
M102 might be a duplication of the Spiral Galaxy M101 (NGC 5457) in Ursa Major, due to a possible error of either the catalog author Messier, or its `discoverer' Méchain, a view brought up by Méchain in a letter of May 1783.
Perhaps more probably (due to historical evidence), M102 may be the Lenticular Galaxy NGC 5866 in Draco, also sometimes called the Spindle Galaxy, as Messier's catalog description indicates, together with the position he added later by hand in his personal copy.

 Messier M102 - NGC5866; Spindle Galaxy
As a result of this confusion, M102 was 'missing' for over 100 years.
The Spindle Galaxy, M102, is a lenticular / edge on spiral galaxy in Draco.
It was probably discovered by Pierre Méchain in March 1781 and subsequently catalogued by Charles Messier who described it as a "nebula between the stars Omicron of Bootes and Iota of the Dragon [Draco]: it is very faint; near it is a star of the sixth magnitude".

The gun was used extensively beginning with the Vietnam War.

A l'évidence, M102 est le seul objet de Messier encore considéré "manquant", ou douteux.
M102 serait une redécouverte de la galaxie spirale M101 (NGC 5457) dans la Grande Ourse, suite à une erreur soit de l'auteur du catalogue, Messier, soit de son "découvreur", Méchain.
Peut-être, et plus probablement (du fait de l'évidence historique), M102 serait la Galaxie Lenticulaire NGC 5866 dans le Dragon, parfois appelée la galaxie du fuseau (spindle), telle que Messier la décrit dans son catalogue, avec la position ajoutée par la suite à la main sur sa copie personnelle.

This occurs in harnesses M30, M32 and M33 for the tach cluster harnesses, and in M102, M32 and M33 for the tach-less cluster harnesses.
For instance, terminal 1 in M102 R/B high beam on indicator for a tach-less cluster does not correspond with terminal 1 in M102 G/L fuel gauge for a tach equipped cluster.
An example being that the tach-less M102 terminal 1 is B for the speedometer, and it swaps into tach equipped M102 terminal 3 and now functions to ground not only the speedometer, but also the water temp and fuel gauges.

NGC5866 is a compact galaxy in the constellation of Draco.
And I wrote "M102" in parentheses; actually this Messier's number is informal because it's considered that Messier mistook M101 for M102.
Although recent researches tell this NGC5866 is M102, it's open to question whether telescopes in that time could catch such a faint celestial object with a long axis of 3 arc minutes and brightness of 10.8.

The object listed as M102 was discovered by Mechain in 1781, however he did not specify its precise position and retracted that discovery two years later, stating that he re-discovered M101.
However, description of the general location of M102 did not match that of M101 and M102 is regarded as one of the missing Messier object.
Many sources list bright lenticular galaxy NGC5866 in Draco as the alternative candidate and I decided to follow that approach, too.
