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. The attached 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.
