NGC 4830

18" (5/15/04): moderately bright, moderately large, elongated 4:3 NNW-SSE, 1.0'x0.7'. Well-concentrated with a small, high surface brightness core which increases to a well-defined, bright stellar nucleus.  Forms the NW vertex of a trapezoid with three mag 8-10 stars!  The closest is a mag 10.5 star 2' S with mag 8.3 HD 112528 4' SE.
