M107 is a small fairly sparse globular
cluster. This was discovered by Pierre
Mechain, a fellow comet hunter who would
bring his information to Messier to be
confirmed. While Messier's notes
mentioned the cluster, it was never
entered into his catalog. Working from
his original notes, astronomer Owen
Gingerich extended the catalog up
through M109 in 1954
