Coaxing a broken tail from Comet ISON 19th Nov Brisbane

OK, I was determined to see what this comet is going to do. After a recent flare up the clouds were finally clear this morning to let me take some photos. I drove over to Lota - bayside Brisbane - for a clear horizon. The Moon was up and the sky was getting lighter. Here's some very processed images, which show a discontinuity in the tail. Spica is 2 degrees from the comet in this pic.

Thanks for looking,

Tom
