Looks like Einstein arc on the left

    This appears to be part of a gravitational lens or similar looking event.

    Hi and welcome @russfrizzell 😃

    In this case it is a foreground edge-on galaxy, but I can see how it could be mistaken for a lensed object. 😃

    Potential lensed galaxies will arc around the lens galaxy, they will not be as straight or linear as we see in this image.

    Interesting non the less!
