I am not doubting the objects but I would like to see what you are seeing, maybe there is something there.

Have a look at the image inset on Rob's pic. You'll see a bright star near the head of the comet on the lower part of the head and then to the upper right of there a very dim "star". Just above that, there's a very thin line running from near the front of the head going back to where the tail starts. In it, you'll see some very faint "blobs" that are aligned along that line. In the main pic, you can see the spine a bit more clearly.
That's why I'd like to see if the guys at Paranal can train a scope onto the head to see if there is something there. I hope there is
