What's going on here?

    Is this just a camera effect, or is this a merger of two dramatically differently colored galaxies?

    This is what happens when a moving object gets caught by the different filters.
    Because of the fuzzy appearance I think it's a #comet.
    Asteroids also appear as green/red/blue smarties but are not this fuzzy.
