A quadruple system (HD 16914) lies 14' NNE. A mag 11 star is ~30" E of the primary and a 20" pair of 14th mag stars are close SE.

Lewis Swift discovered IC 1833 = Sw. XI-43 on 22 Dec 1897, reporting "eeF; S; R; 3 fine D st nf, each about 7" [separation]." His RA is 18 seconds too small, but the identification is certain with the pairs to the NNE. Howe's accurate position (measured in 1900) was used in the IC 2.

600/800mm - 24" (1/1/19): at 260x; fairly faint, moderately large, oval 4:3 SW-NE, well defined brighter 25" core. Low surface brightness halo with averted, ~50"x35". Located 16' W of mag 6.8 HD 17005. Two very wide bright pairs are ~8' N.
