The image of C/2017 J2 (Palomar) caused me particular problems since it is some way from the position predicted by the MPC. Using recent astrometry to update the predicted position, I think I have managed to find J2 right on the edge of my frames as a very diffuse object. The faint fuzz is within a few arcsec of the predicted position although astrometry was rather hit and miss since there is no central condensation.
