Most of the spots in the image are cosmic rays striking the CCD, not stars. Processors usually clean them up and leave just the stars but that didn't happen this time.

Omm actually, ima pretty sure most of the 'trails' are actually galaxies, not cosmic rays. The odd color is because the image was overall adjusted to give the cool nebula a blue look.
