IC 4033 is a Lenticular Galaxy in the Coma Berenices constellation. IC 4033 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 15.23, IC 4033 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 20 inches (500mm) or more.

The image below is a photograph of IC 4033 from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2 - see the credits section) taken in the red channel. The area of sky represented in the image is 0.5000x0.5000 degrees (30.00x30.00 arcmins).
