NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7833 is an asterism of 5 stars about an arcminute across. Bigourdan's estimated position is less than 15 arcsec from the mean position of the five stars, so there is no doubt about the identity. At first glance, there appears to be a sixth star in the group. But this is a faint compact galaxy, 2MASX J00063413+2738284, well beyond Bigourdan's visual limit.

===== NGC 7833 17.5" (10/21/95): this asterism consists of four faint mag 14.5-15 stars within a 1.3' diameter although three of the stars form a very small triangle with the fourth star 1' N. The faintest of the four stars is the northern star in the small triangle. Located 2' NE of a close well-matched double star and in the same low field with NGC 1 and 2, just 10' ENE. Listed as nonexistent in RNGC.
