I think the ripples are an artifact, but I did see a similar line in the object viewer. http://www.gama-survey.org/dr2/tools/sov.php?cataid=504425

Interesting ripple effect in background. I assume it's an artifact.

Although I did see an unusual feature with a similar slope in the GAMA viewer http://www.gama-survey.org/dr2/tools/sov.php?cataid=504425
