Nice Jorge. There's another little one in the top left also. Which one is that?

Very good observation, Kevin. I didn't see it. Taking CDC as carte it seems to be the Open Cluster Pismis 19. An intemediate stage open cluster with an intensive reddish color, which is an effect of the strong reddening through dust in this region of the sky. It deserves a better image. I will try to do it.

Thank you for call my attention. I am working to shot all clusters in this region of Centaurus. You can see it better in http://www.astrophoton.com/NGC5617.htm

And now, my PISMIS 19: the reddish open cluster showed in the left top of TR 22 image.
