Yeah, blurry dot, could be anything. Probably space junk / something on the lens / CGI / swamp gas. Next!

at first i was like damn this guy has some damn good eq, look how good he tracks it, then i read hot off the presses from nasa lol
it looks tiny , how far away is it?
The pictures were taken by Deep Impact's Medium-Resolution Imager over a 36-hour period on Jan. 17 and 18, when the spacecraft was 493 million miles (793 million kilometers) from the comet, and roughly 185 million miles (300 million kilometers, or 2 AU) from Earth.....
.........It's coming in from the icy outskirts of the solar system, known as the Oort Cloud, and is still more than 474 million miles (763 million kilometers) from the sun. Nevertheless, the sun's warmth has already kicked up a cometary tail, extending more than 40,000 miles (64,000 kilometers) from ISON's nucleus.

Post lacking:
Can you provide the link from NASA? Also, it would be more interesting if you provide more info on the comet, many people don't know about this...believe it or not. Just a video with a guy talking gives no real insight on just how amazing this comet really is!
Thanks.
