About this image

Borisov's variable nebula isn't especially bright, but it is circumpolar! Thats a big plus in keeping it monitored.

The sky tonight was reasonably clear and for once my focus wasn't too shabby, so I got a half decent pic. Am struck by the line of brightness extending away from it at 2 o'clock. Have seen hints of it before, but rarely as strong as this.

Has anyone any ideas what the linear feature might be? A polar flow still clearing its surroundings?
