Mike, that is a nice image of Dunlop 360 = NGC 6067.
Here is the first description of this object.
"A pretty large cluster of small stars of mixed magnitudes, about 12’ diameter; the stars are considerably congregated towards the centre, extended south preceding and north following" James Dunlop 1826

He also noticed the star cloud that is partly visible in the lower part of your image.
Dunlop 362 "A space in the milky way, exceedingly rich in small stars"
