Details:
Comet c/2013R1 (Lovejoy) from Stazione Astronomica di Sozzago, IAU A12, Italy.
Cassegrain 0,4m. Images from December 03 to 06, treated with a radial gradient and LS 20° filter; resolution 0,69 "/pixel.
The animation shows clearly the evolution of the jets in the inner coma, that are deriving from an active area on the rotating nucleus.
The inner coma seems to be that of comet Hyakutake.
