Looking the centre-right of the pic, (apparently) on the upper atmosphere
there are some clouds.
What is it?
Are there such clouds in so high atm? Is it some flush from ISS?
Thank you!
Andy

It's a reflection, like a arm or shirt that is white or piece of paper in
the background. if you look carefully. You can see the glass and other
reflections...

With the greatest of respect to the previous posters I have to say
that everone's got it wrong so far. It's just a little dew on the
lens. All of us here in this group should recognise that for goodness
sake. Probably caused by the photographer's breath. I'd be heavy
breathing over an array that size and that's for sure...

Light reflects off the dew. Otherwise you don't see it. So it's still a
reflection...

Hi Andy,
Well spotted.
Looking at the image you can see a similar but fainter effect at the bright
white ends of the solar arrays against the black background, and I would
suggest it is some sort of flaring, either in the camera lens, or
flare/reflection in the glass of the window through which the image was
taken.
The effect in the centre of the image is also associated with some very
bright white areas of the station, so IMHO it is flare or reflection in the
camera or window, and not something physically associated with the station
itself.
Very best wishes and clear, dark skies.
