NGC 833
18" (11/14/09): fairly bright, moderately large, elongated ~2:1 E-W, 55"x25", contains a small bright core. Forms a close pair with NGC 835 1' E in the striking HCG 16 quartet.
18" (10/21/06): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 5:2 E-W, 0.8'x0.3', sharply concentrated with a very small bright core. First of four in HCG 16 and forms a close double with NGC 835 1' E. NGC 838 is nearly on a line with the pair, 4.4' ESE of NGC 833.
17.5" (8/31/86): moderately bright, small, edge-on ~E-W, bright core. Forms a very close pair with NGC 835 1.0' E of center in the HCG 16 with NGC 838 and NGC 839.
