Guillaume Bigourdan found IC 3833 = Big. 302 on 15 Apr 1895. His position matches PGC 43560, which was likely one of two galaxies discovered by Wilhelm Tempel in 1882 and catalogued as NGC 4722 and NGC 4723. Herbert Howe searched the field in 1898 with the 20" refractor in Denver looking for NGC 4722/4723 and reported finding only a single nebula. His position (given in the IC 2 Notes section) matches IC 3833. See notes for NGC 4723 and Harold Corwin's identification notes for the full story.

400/500mm - 17.5" (3/16/96): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 SW-NE, 1.0'x0.4', small bright core. A mag 14 star lies 1.1' E of center. In field with NGC 4748 11' SE.
