Discovered (Dec 24, 1827) by
John Herschel
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 3554 (= GC 2321 = JH 833, 1860 RA 11 03 12, NPD 60 36.4) is "very faint, pretty small, round, brighter middle, 3rd of 4", the others beingNGC 3550,3552 and3561.
Physical Information:

NGC 3555
Discovered (Aug 24, 1883) by
Lewis Swift
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 3555 (Swift list I (#11), 1860 RA 11 03 15, NPD 67 29.9) is "very faint, round, northeastern of 2", the other beingNGC 3551.
Physical Information:

NGC 3556 (= PGC 34030 =
M108)
Discovered (Feb 19, 1781) byPierre Méchain but position not determined
Observed (Mar 24, 1781) byCharles Messier but position not determined until later
Discovered (Apr 17, 1789) byWilliam Herschel
Also observed (Feb 10, 1831) byJohn Herschel
Also observed (Nov 8, 1864) byGeorge Rümker
Appended (1953) to the Messier Catalog by Owen Gingerich as M108
A magnitude 10.0 spiral galaxy (type SB(s)cd?) inUrsa Major (RA 11 11 29.4, Dec +55 40 22)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 3556 (= GC 2318 = JH 831 = WH V 46, G. Rümker, 1860 RA 11 03 18, NPD 33 34.0) is "considerably bright, very large, very much extended 79°, pretty bright middle, mottled but not resolved". The position precesses to RA 11 11 31.5, Dec +55 40 38, right on the galaxy listed above and the description fits, so the identification is certain.
Additional Notes (about its listing as M108): Méchain observed this nebula on Feb 19, 1781 and noted its approximate position relative toM97, but as of his letter of May 6, 1783 to Bernoulli, had still not gotten around to measuring an accurate position. Messier also noted the nebula while observing M97, and apparently meant to add it to his Catalog, as he marked it as "98" in the preliminary manuscript; but he failed to measure its position before he had to send the manuscript to the publisher, so it was not included in the published Catalog. However, he did add a handwritten position to his personal copy of the published Catalog, which Owen Gingerich was able to use in 1953 to identify it as NGC 3556; and as a result of Messier's obvious original intention to add the nebula to his Catalog, Gingerich suggested adding it as M108. The failure of its original discoverers to publish their observations meant that neither Herschel nor Dreyer knew of the original observations when they compiled theGeneral Catalog andNew General Catalog, so there was no mention of Méchain or Messier in the NGC entry for the galaxy.
