Comet 146P was discovered by Shoemaker on 26 sept.1984 and assigned as D/1984 W1 SHOEMAKER (Shoemaker 2) , later rediscovered as comet P/2000 S2  (IAUC 7499).  

 F. Shelly and R. Huber, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, reported the discovery by LINEAR of a 19th mag comet with a tail in p.a. about 280 deg, on September 27.44. Confirmation of cometary appearance on September 29.1 was received from P. Pravec and P. Kusnirak at Ondrejov (coma diameter 0'.2 with a 0'.2 tail in p.a. 260 deg) and from J. Ticha and M. Tichy at Klet (object diffuse with 14'' tail in p.a. 265 deg). Available astrometry and preliminary parabolic orbital elements (T = 2000 July 27.6 TT, q = 1.305 AU, i = 20.2 deg) were published on MPEC 2000-S67. [IAUC 7498, 2000 September 29] S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan, then identified comet C/2000 S2 with comet D/1984 W1 (Shoemaker 2), the comet now being off from his prediction (cf. ICQ 2000 Comet Handbook) by Delta(T) = +23.2 days or about 7.5 deg in sky position. [IAUC 7499, 2000 September 29]
