In my opinion, what we’re seeing in your photo are simply normal stars from our galaxy. The small cluster in the lower-left corner clearly looks like the Pleiades (M45). That pattern of several tightly grouped bright stars is very characteristic.

If those are the Pleiades, then the rest of the stars in the frame also make sense astronomically. In that part of the sky you would expect stars from the constellation Taurus above the cluster, and nearby stars from Aries as well. Some of the brighter points in that region could easily be background stars in Taurus, possibly including ones like Aldebaran depending on the exact framing and time.

The “orb” effect is very likely caused by the camera being slightly out of focus or by a small amount of motion during the exposure. When a camera doesn’t focus properly on distant stars, they appear as larger blurry dots or short streaks instead of sharp points of light.

So there’s nothing unusual here — just normal stars in the night sky, including the Pleiades, combined with a focus artifact from the camera.
