This galaxy was discovered in 1950 by Arthur Hog. Initially, he considered it a planetary nebula. Subsequently, Hog decided that the object is a galaxy ...
There is a great idea in the phrase highlighted in red. If Arthur Hogh could not deal with this object - is it a nebula or a galaxy?
Why not portray the nebula similar to sprite galaxies?
This is a photo of the galaxy:

We must ask the developers to correct the algorithm for the formation of nebulae by analogy with the galaxies.

Croc,
It might be possible to somewhat improve the appearances of galaxies with sprite models. They've been a feature since 1.5.0 but not many people seem to use them.
For example, I took Hoag's object and added a sprite model at its location. It's not perfect, but I tried to make it look like the bright blue stars in the Hubble photo:
Here's the add-on available for download. Feedback is welcome. I would like to give thanks to Cham, whose sprite texture I borrowed. He was the inspiration for this, and has made some excellent models using sprites. (Just enter "sprite" in the search bar and be amazed.)
