    Hi heckenkeks and welcome to the Zoo

    First of, always classify the object in the center of the image.
    But I suspect you are asking about the bright, spiky object top right corner? That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts. And at these distances it is impossible to directly see planets ! 😄
