Hi and welcome to the Zoo @Sharkteeth01 😃
That is a foreground star from our own galaxy - the weird colours are artifacts caused by filter / imaging errors. This thread here has some more info on the different type of artifacts you may come across in these images.
And here is the image zoomed out, as you can see all the objects in the vicinity were affected.
Happy Hunting!
