Nebula or artifact

Hey folks.
Since we have been clouded over here for what seems years, I was working on honing my Photoshop techniques on an old Ikeya-Zhang photo taken back on 4/14/02 at 4 am. At the time, this comet was low in the NE sky in Cassiopiea. A ribbon type nebula showed up in the lower left quadrant but the only thing in see in "The Sky" for this area is a planetary nebula. Here's the photo along with a sky chart: http://www.members.cox.net/ecdon/ikeyaand_nebula.html
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Don Spencer
