Has anyone imaged this distant periodic comet recently? The last
observation on the MPC page is from G96 recording it as 19.06G on Feb 2.27.

Following some comments from Grant Privett, Denis Buczynski and I imaged
this object tonight. It is faint and shows up as an indistinct elongated
trail with no obvious centroid. See the images here:

If you do have any images please let me know.
