Thank you Pete,
I understood that the arrows pointed at fragments of the comet, but the giant colored dots were really bizarre... I just visited the ESO website and confirmed your explanation.
Now I am even more surprised at the fact that the big dots didn't come in for any kind of explanation in the text.... they're a pretty dramatic component of the photo and certainly don't look like a star-trail.
