A very encouraging night. I hit all three fairly difficult targets.
Started off with M109 and spent a half-hour with it practicing various methods to 'eek' out more detail. Found that averted vision in different areas around the target really does help. I had my best luck looking just to the left of the target.
M108 was barely harder to see than M109. Very similar in shape and size.
M97 was the dimmest, but as with the other two, AV was barely needed.
