This is really awesome!!! How does this make it actually red though if its green? Because of filters?

Because of the mapping; they're 'false colors'; the SDSS g filter image is blue (in RBG), r is G, and i is R. the r filter is not really red

This looks soooo much like a spiral galaxy, but actually this is a planetary nebula with the catchy name : PN K 4-55 -- Planetary Nebula.
