shake of camera photo ;)
This is definitely a case of camera shake! ESO have imaged the comet recently and there is no sign of any breaking up. It is definitely not going to be seen on an unguided tripod mounted camera photo before it is seen in a large telescope, and as others have posted, no one else has seen it visually or photographically. The 2 stars that are visible in the image are quite faint, but the brighter one of them shows hints of the camera shake too, I've indicated it in the attached image. The same offset is seen in the star trail as in the coma.
cheers, Gordon
