    Hi Rachael 99816 and welcome to the Zoo !

    It's a satellite trail.
    The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
    Satellite trails can also be blue or red.

    Happy hunting !

    The blue object at the bottom, just to the right of the satellite trail, is a galaxy.
