Michael Clark (Mount John University Observatory, New Zealand) discovered this comet on June 9, 1973, near the edge of a photographic plate exposed for the southern variable star patrol. The comet was confirmed the next morning. The comet was described as diffuse, with a total magnitude of 13, and exhibited a tail one arc minute long at p.a. Of 260 degr..   A prediscovery image was found by Clark on a photographic plate he had exposed on June 1.
