What in the world is this bright green band?

The nucleus of the galaxy seem to be out of place, so I'm not sure what to make of this.

It's a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.

The green line is a satellite trail. The blue object is a star from our galaxy, that only appears to be before the line.
