	Messier Object 109
		This object was observed by Pierre Méchain on March 12, 1781, and by Charles Messier on March 24, 1781, together with M108 when he measured M97.
		Messier listed the object now called "M109" under number "99" in a preliminary manuscript version of his catalog without a position, and Méchain mentioned it in his letter to Bernoulli of May 6, 1783.
		The distance of this galaxy, however, may be a bit smaller, as the average recession in this cloud is lower, and some part of the surplus may be peculiar velocity.

	M109A6 Paladin Self Propelled Howitzer
		Range, lethality, reliability, speed and mobility were all limitations of this 1950's design, as was the lack of onboard navigation/location and nuclear, biological and chemical protection for the crew.
		Life cycle sustainment support for the M109 FOV is currently provided by multiple government and commercial organizations using many different processes to deliver both services and materials.
		The Fleet Manager (FM) will be the single world class focal point for the M109 FOV life-cycle sustainment support, to include supply, engineering and limited life cycle support functions by having one point of contact and focal point for all M109 FOV life-cycle program management and weapon system support.

	More M109
		In this galaxy, both the central nucleus and outer arms are fairly smooth- devoid of (reddish) hotspots of star formation.
		This image is a composite of four CCD images, taken with the AOP's Meade 16in LX200 telescope operating at f/6.3 and SBIG ST8E CCD camera with color filter wheel: Luminance, L=50 min, Red, R=20 min, Green, G=20 min, Blue, B=40 min.
		M109 is around 40 to 50 million light years away in a loose galaxy grouping (the Ursa Major cloud) which also includes M108.

	M109
		Galaxy M109 is a stunning example of a "barred spiral galaxy." This category of spiral galaxies is defined by a distinct "bar" of densely packed stars elongating the nucleus of the galaxy.
		The spiral arms originate from the ends of this bar.
		Two hours of luminance exposures were combined with 15 minutes each of green and red exposures and 20 minutes of blue exposures, using an ST10XME camera through a Celestron 8" telescope at f10.

		Description (M109) The M109 has a crew of six, consisting of commander, gunner, three ammunition members and the driver.
		Intended primarily for use with M109 field units, the M992 can also be used by units with 175 mm, 203 mm, 120 mm and 105 mm self-propelled weapons.
		The XM975 Roland chassis, based on the M109, was used as the basis for the Robotic Command Center for use in various robotic vehicle programmes.

		Description: Although mentioned By Charles Messier in his March 24, 1781 observations of M97, this object was not included in Messier's original published list of 103 objects.
		M109 was only added to the official Messier listing of objects in 1953 by Owen Gingerich.
		This barred spiral galaxy is classified according to the Hubble system as a SB(rs)bc, which means that this object features a central bar (SB), with an inner ring (r), an "s-shaped" overall structure (s), and with moderately loosely wound spiral arms (bc).

		The author rightly describes the M109 as being the father of all post-war self-propelled artillery pieces.
		The M109 (and its companion, the M108) has been used since the very early 1960s by over two-dozen countries, be they allies or enemies of the USA.
		Zaloga’s concise and informative text begins in the post-WW2 era by describing the US Army’s quest for a self-propelled gun in a fully rotating turret, able to maneuver with armored and mechanized units on a nuclear battlefield.

		Entering service in the early 1960s, the M109 Self-Propelled Howitzer has been in production for 34 years and forms the backbone of US Army and Reserve artillery units.
		The M109A6 is the latest development of the M109 series and incorporates advanced fire control systems that enable it to have its first rounds on target less than 60 seconds after arriving at firing location.
		This ability to shift quickly between moving and firing modes avoids counter battery fire and ensures battlefield survivability.

		M109, located in the constellation Ursa Major (the Big Dipper), is a relatively faint object and compared to galaxies previously imaged with the MX7C, more difficult to image.
		Longer integration time would certainly be helpful here.
