Messier 109 (also known as NGC 3992) is a barred spiral galaxy exhibiting a weak inner ring structure around the central bar approximately 83.5 ± 24 million light-years away in the northern constellation Ursa Major. M109 can be seen south-east of the star Phecda (? UMa, Gamma Ursa Majoris).
SPA-2 is in Spain and belongs to Telescope Live. It has an RC optical design and has a 0.75% focal reducer installed. It is equipped with a set of Astrodon astrophotography and Sloan photometry filters, and it is, therefore, an excellent choice for astrophotography of deep-sky objects and for scientific applications such as photometry.
