What are these 2 objects?

[shaneaust]

I've attached a photo taken at around 10 pm last nite (26 may), with Jupiter and Antares shown, for reference points.

I have added 2 questions marks for objects that I'm not sure about.

Anyone have an idea as to what they might be? I use Starry Night Backyard as my astro/sky-guide program - but its not really helping to identify these 2 objects.

The top one looks like the NGC6231 open cluster complex and the bottom one looks like the Ptolemy Cluster -M7

Here is an extreme zoom in of the top region of interest (Table of Scorpius) from The Sky. The cluster is, as Paul writes, NGC6231 with the nebulosity of IC4628.

Cheers
