After some delay I managed to get some images of this comet with the 
0.8m telescope on Mt. Lemmon. The processed image, taken in strong 
moonlight, is here:

The telescope has 0.65"/pix and the FWHM was 1.5". I've used the same 
rotational gradient processing as you but no sign of any fragment.

Nick.
