Unknown Nebulosity

Hi all,

I was busy sleeping whilst my observatory was taking photometric data for MP 28736. On viewing my images I thought "wasted night" as 1/3 of the frame was void of any stars - I assumed cloud or dew. Problem was my observatory was taking data for 2 other MP's and there was no cloud and no dew evident on those fields.

Well I did a track and stack of all 44 x 4 minute images and sure enough - its a dust cloud or nebulosity of some sort. Can anyone identify it please? Image is centered on 15 54 22.56 -02 49 24.16. My target was the dotted line.

Cheers
