I'm being a bit pedantic here perhaps (pun intended) but it's an open cluster, not a globular. The name you are thinking of is the Gabriela Mistral nebula so called because it resembles the profile of Gabriela Mistral, a Chilean Nobel prize winner.

Ah yes I meant open cluster. Thanks for the name, that was bugging me as I couldn't recall it.

Sorry I just found it. Yep newfangled name. |
Thanks Theo.
I saw one post by another imager that refers to the Pendant Nebula. I forget where I found the original reference to it but it was called the Pendant there.
