About NGC 4833
NGC 4833 (C105) is catalogued as a globular cluster in Musca. Its J2000 position is RA 12:59:35, Dec -70:52:28, corresponding to 194.8913 degrees RA and -70.8765 degrees Dec. The local catalogue places it about 19,600 light-years away. Its referenced angular extent is approximately 13.5 by 13.5 arcminutes.
Observing tips
StarWatchr rates this as a moderate target at magnitude 7.4. It is associated with spring observing, with midnight placement typically strongest around March. From 52 degrees north its theoretical meridian altitude is about 0 degrees; local horizons and the live altitude chart determine the practical window.
A small telescope under reasonably dark skies is a good starting point; use the live altitude chart to choose its highest point.
What to expect
The SIMBAD classification for the matched source is GlC. A published radial velocity value is 202 km/s. The SIMBAD record currently connects it to 474 bibliographic references.
At roughly 13.5 arcminutes across, it benefits from a narrower field and adequate image scale. Use the listed 13.5 by 13.5 arcminute extent to check framing, and treat catalogue magnitude as integrated brightness rather than a direct measure of visual contrast.
