This is actually a star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real.

Something went wrong with the imaging/filters

They are applied with filters depending on the wavelenght (of the object) that reach us.

Odd but beautiful image; Purple slice in green circle. I don't think there's anything wrong with the optics. See the colour-inverted image.
