NGC 6888: The Crescent Nebula (APOD 2009 Sept 15)

I see what appears to be a brown foreground object right smack in the middle of this photograph. I presume the Isaac Newton Telescope would not produce an artifact like this if it was not there. There appears to be a wisp of another such a blob to the upper right.

Does anyone know what this is?
