/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I am watching this episode and I noticed what looks like something on the camera lens; I say that because the artifacts move with the camera in the bottom left. I was hoping someone here could confirm it’s officially a part of the series or if it’s just my video from where ever I sourced it.
Edit: it also appears again at 27:53.
Did a couple passes and shotgunned screens. Not seeing it, though this was played through Paramount+.
Well I don't have a master to refer to
I only have the PAL DVD set to refer to (so I think the scene in "By Inferno's Light" you're referring to occurs around 15:50) and I cannot see this artefact.
Looks like it might have been added by whatever re-encoding was done between the NTSC DVDs and your copy.
Recently finished DS9 last month and the thing I noticed in several episodes especially in the last season was in seeing the edges of the film reel. In several instances, the blank white edges of the film would appear for a second or two. It was surprising because every time you notice stuff like that it snaps you back to reality to remind you this is all in film. I mean, I always know it's on film but you never think of it ... but when you see evidence of the film it kind of spoils the fantasy of watching a show you're enjoying.
I guess one thing to remember is that if you were watching it when it was originally broadcast or even on DVD in the 2000s, the overscan feature of TVs would have hidden any issues at the edge of the frame.
Modern media centres and TVs now allow you to disable that (and often do since modern shows and films are made without overscan in mind), so the artefacts and edge distortions that are common in 70s/80s/90s shows are now visible.
