Dim blue nebula?

by ZAFAstro

Interesting faint blue cloud - looks like a nebula. Not sure what the artifact in the top left corner (green stripe) is either.

Hi ZAFAstro and welcome to the Zoo

The central object is not a nebula but a fuzzy galaxy.

The green stripe is a satellite trail.

Happy hunting ! 😄

Hi Olaf,
that is a satellite trail. The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in only one filter
