Unusual lighted area

    Curious about this image with regard to the apparent light on the right part of the disk. Do we just consider artifact?

    I would go with artifact - if you look at the SkyServer image, we can see a similar colour distortion in other objects in the region. Possibly the red / green filter was slightly misaligned?
