This is faint nebulosity seen in this image is the Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN). It is a vast cloud of dust that permiates the space between us and the galaxy. It is composed of dust particles, hydrogen and carbon monoxide and other elements. This image has been processed to show this IFN. It is still faint, but much more noticeable in the other image I posted of this galaxy.
