Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4173 = NGC 4933sw. This is the fainter component of the double galaxy. It was seen twice by Bigourdan, though he misidentified his comparison star on one night, so it has ended up with an IC number as well as the NGC number.
The other component of NGC 4933 is IC 4176. Bigourdan "discovered" another galaxy that night, IC 4134 (which see for details) -- but that is NGC 4920.
