Some of these are stars from our galaxy. Others are imaging ghosts. The doughnu shape and the colors are optical artifacts

These are out of focus stars from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems. Classify a star/#artifact !

Again, just overexposed and out of focus stars from our galaxy. Just classify as star/artifact.

Happy hunting ! 😄
