The interesting bit between the other great bits

Facing South at around midnight we have the bright Eta Carina and Crux region of the Milky Way on the right and the Scorpio/Sagittarius region of the Milky Way over on the left. In the middle, due south, is another large and very bright patch of the Milky Way that I've always wondered about, but I've never heard a name. Google tells me it's Norma. Would someone confirm this, please.

I put the scope onto this region recently and got the attached image of this nice cluster. Is it NGC 6067 ?
