More on comet 73B
Fragment B has definitely broken up, see these rather nice images here, here and especially here showing the development of fragmentary material in the tail. This page gives a nice overview of the various cometary fragments. Various people have reported seeing fragments B and C in 10x50 binoculars, and as over the next few days fragment C is near alpha Coronus Borealis, this is a good time to go looking.
