Navi and the Ghost of Cassiopeia, Wide

Since strong wind and haze prohibited the employment of the Celestron C8 for close up images, the Sammy 135mm lens was put to work again. Oh ya poor lad!

In spite of the sky's rudeness, the one-hour exposure does not look that bad. Starnet++ helped emphasize the Ghost of Cassiopeia, Caldwell 63, right underneath the star Navi and the nebulae on the image in revison B. The lens was wide open at f2. No NB filters, no calibration.

Revision B shows IC410 and IC405 in Auriga. Clouds terminated the session after 17 exposures, therefore no separate upload to show off with. 17 x 75sec, ISO800, lens at f2.

Revision C simulates the visual sky quality with an all-sky lens.

Question please,
Does anybody who imaged the same region know whether the bright "cloud" in the image center is real star/nebula stuff or just light pollution/artifact?

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
