The star in the lower right corner is multicolored and it looks like it is divided in two halves. Does anyone recognize this?

It's a star in our own galaxy. The color offsets - all the other objects in the field have them too - is (most likely) due to a failure of the SDSS photometric pipeline to properly align the three images (one for each of the RGB channels displayed in this JPG image).
