80P/Peters–Hartley is a periodic comet in the Solar System with an orbital period of 8.12 years.
It was originally discovered by
Capodimonte Observatory
, Naples, Italy. There was insufficient data to accurately compute the orbit, and the comet was lost for well over a hundred years.
It was accidentally rediscovered by
Syuichi Nakano
had simultaneously reached the same conclusion.
It was observed at its next apparition in 1990 by R. H. McNaught of the Siding Spring observatory, who described as diffuse with a brightness of magnitude 14. It was subsequently observed in 1998, 2006 and 2014.
