BREAKING NEWS!!!
The comet appears to have broken into at least two (possibly 3) pieces.
Dave Brannigan and I have been imaging this since the clouds broke with Daves Atik 16IC and an 8" SCT. There are two definite chunks now widely seperated in the core.
Get out now and look!!! (remember you heard it here first!)

Guys are you sure that not a background star?? I saw those two distinct objects and just assumed it was a background star.
