DeLisle Stewart discovered IC 4933 = DS 632 on a plate taken at Harvard's Arequipa station on 3 Oct 1901. He noted "eF, eS, 2-branch open spiral." I'm surprised JH missed this galaxy and picked up nearby NGC 6850 (8' separation). Perhaps it was just outside his sweep limit.

600/800mm - 30" (11/5/10 - Coonabarabran, 264x): fairly bright, large, oval 5:4 ~N-S, ~1.8'x1.4'. Sharply concentrated with a very small bright core, increasing to the center. The outer halo shows weak spiral structure (two arms), though they can't be easily traced. A mag 12.7 star lies 1.6' S. Forms a nice pair with NGC 6850 8' N.
