About 20' SSE of 5617 lies a small rich open cluster of very faint stars called Pismis 19, which on DSS images looks not unlike a loose globular cluster, infact its appearance on images reminds me of M4. It's reddened on DSS images which leads me to believe that it suffers from extinction, but still should interesting to investigate this one in a moderate-large scope.
