Others
[edit]
Comet Spacewatch may also refer to a partial reference to comets co-discovered with the Spacewatch Telescope:
- Comet LINEAR–Spacewatch[2]
- Comet Spacewatch–Hill[3]
- Comet Spacewatch–LINEAR[4]
- 475P/Spacewatch–LINEAR

- 491P/Spacewatch–PanSTARRS
- 497P/Spacewatch–PanSTARRS
Additionally, two near-Earth asteroids discovered by Spacewatch were discovered to have cometary activity in 2016 and 2025, respectively:[6][7]
- (300163) 2006 VW139 – also known by its numerical designation 288P
- (875163) 1998 SH2
