Messier 107 or M107, also known as NGC 6171 or the Crucifix Cluster, is a very loose globular cluster in a very mildly southern part of the sky close to the equator in Ophiuchus, and is the last such object in the Messier Catalogue.
Charles Messier. The first edition of 1774 covered 45 objects (M1 to M45).The total list published by Messier in 1781 contained 103 objects, but the list was expanded through successive additions by other astronomers, motivated by notes in Messier's and Méchain's texts indicating that at least one of them knew of the additional objects.

η Ophiuchi (Latinised to Eta Ophiuchi) is the system's Bayer designation.WDS J17104-1544AB is its designation in the Washington Double Star Catalog.The designations of the two components as WDS J17104-1544 A and B derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
Theta Ophiuchi, Latinized from θ Ophiuchi, is a multiple star system in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus.It lies on the "right foot" of the serpent-bearer, just southwest of Kepler's Star, the nova of 1604.
Delta Ophiuchi (δ Ophiuchi, abbreviated Delta Oph, δ Oph), formally named Yed Prior / ˌ j ɛ d ˈ p r aɪ ər /, [13] [14] is a star in the constellation of Ophiuchus.It forms a naked-eye optical double with Epsilon Ophiuchi (named Yed Posterior [14]).
