It is whispy through other parts of the image too. So it could be calibration, or just legit dust??? It might be a reflection off the interior of the dome too with some LED light, though other test images in other parts of the sky did not show this at all.
The bulk of it looks liek galactic cirrus to me, the bottom right corner may eb something else but the rest looks liek dust.
