Details:
Disturbance of ion tail of comet Lovejoy.
Dec 4 2013 20h20m-32m(UT)
Big Structure of the hump-like of comet Lovejoy was found in the early hours December 5, 2013(JST).
Here I show the hump-like structure using 16cm,F=3.3
(f=530mm) Telescope.
I suspect the phenomenon due to the switching of the tail by the solar wind.
Follow-up of less than one hour are made.
