Char Messier was a French "comet hunter"; comets were his primary point of interest, perhaps after observing the "great comet" of 1744. But he kept finding things that looked like comets but weren't, so he proceeded to compile a catalog of "fuzzy things in the sky that weren't comets".
The Messier Catalog includes galaxies, nebulae and star clusters; all things that would have looked sort-of like comets through his late-1700's telescope.
