Dust lane, fragment or superposition

by losh14

I'm looking at the line to the south of the main galaxy in this gorgeous photo. Is that a dust lane separating or a fragment of a spiral arm, or just hte superposition of a nearer object?

perché il centro della spirale è di colore rossastro anziché bianco-giallo. e cosa può essere l'oggetto verde e rosso nei bracci?

centers are often quite red, many old red stars there.

Just a gorgeous shot. Curious what part of the sky this one is in.
