Comet Spitaler is a periodic comet in the Solar System discovered by Rudolf Ferdinand Spitaler ( Vienna, Austria) on November 17, 1890, while attempting to observe Comet Zona (C/1890 V1).
Spitaler, together with G. M. Searle, J. F. Tennant, and J. R. Hind, calculated orbits based on the observations, but despite predictions of a return in 1897, it was lost and remained so for the next few decades.
On October 24, 1993, the comet was rediscovered by J. V. Scotti ( Spacewatch, Kitt Peak Observatory, Arizona, United States), it was confirmed as Spitaler's comet when Brian G. Marsden connected the 1890 and 1994 apparitions.
