this color photo of the comet obtained by UK astronomer Damian Peach on Sept. 24th
Comet C/2012 S1 ISON and asteroid 433 Eros captured on 25 September with iTelescope T4 at around 5:10 am local time in New Mexico, USA. The image is a stack of 10 x 60 second Luminance exposures. Images stacked then SUMMED using ImageJ, then contrast enhancement applied. click to embiggen
Animation made from all 10 images. Contrast enhanced to see the comet tail better.

infact cant we get the original
No. OP did not cite who took the pictures, and I doubt they took the images themselves. There ought to be some rule against that in the terms of service of this website, but I doubt there is.
This is who is supposed to have taken the pictures,
www.itelescope.net... It's a web hosting service.
The Op mentions that site, i don't know for sure who made the animation though. Possibly here,
although it doesn't actually say just a summary, but mentions doing Astrometry as if on the pictures, but you have to presume he is prescribing to the website.

By the way, I think we now know where you come from.

Well we've had ISON with an asteroid and ISON with Mars in this thread, how about ISON with a plane?
It happened yesterday morning while I was taking the images for the color data of my latest ISON picture (with an Atik Titan-C on an Orion ST-80 piggybacked on an LX200). I decided to do a stack of just the Atik images that included that particular exposure. I aligned the images on the comet this time rather than the stars.

why does it have such a high orbit out from the sun? i mean are the calculations even right or are they are just guessing
