ABERRACION Ó NO? ABERRATION OR NOT?

    La linea que cae casi perpendicular en tono rosado es una aberración ó fallo en la imagen? Ó es otra cosa?
    The line falls nearly perpendicular in pink tone is an aberration or failure image? Or is it something else?

    It's a DECaLS artifact often tagged as #decals_red_artifact

    So it is a image faliure, correct?

    No, not an image failure 😃 It is still possible to classify the galaxy at the center, whilst ignoring the red line.

    The red line is an optical artifact (most likely caused by an artificial satellite) - they are quite common in all astronomical surveys.
