[PepeChambo]

Comet 260P/McNaught on 2019 October 12 at its maximum brightness around magnitude 11. Its coma measures something less than 1 arcminute of angular size, observing two jets getting out that are immersed into its dust tail which extends about 5 arcminutes lenght.

Comet 260P/McNaught imaged on 2019 November 29 through IAC-80 Telescope in Teide Observatory (IAC). Shows a coma some smaller than 1 arcminute of angular size (30 000 km in absolute size) and a dust tail in fan shape.

 

This image, at maximum resolution and stacked on the comet, shows in detail the inner coma where are perceived jets of material emerging from nucleus. I have included an Earth image at same scale of the comet:
