Hi moonball250 and welcome to the Zoo
The object to the left is just a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts.
Happy hunting ! 😄

neutron star in center of Crab Neblua, in Google Sky, with X-ray telescope. There are two stars close together, I think the neutron star is to the left.
https://www.google.com/sky/#latitude=22.014131341325147&longitude=-96.36564409255982&zoom=16&Spitzer=0.00&ChandraXO=100.00&Galex=0.00&IRAS=0.00&WMAP=0.00&Cassini=0.00&slide=8&mI=1&oI=4
It is just outside the dr10 footprint.
Isolated Neutron star above is also out the of the Dr10 footprint. Most Milky Way objects are, since SDSS avoids the Milky Way.
