The flaring you see coming from Jupiter looks like diffraction. Jupiter is the closest, largest and brightest object in the photo. The other point sources of light are it’s moons, which Jupiter has a constellation of over 60 moons if I recall correctly.

Im no astrophotography buff, but I do love observing the night sky and learning about astronomy and astro physics
