what is that red star?

This may show my ignorance but I'm going to ask anyway. While taking advantage of one of the few crystal-clear nights we get in light polluted Ipswich I was exploring the beautiful area around our Southern Cross with my 8'' dob (Carina Nebula was stunning!). While looking at Bcrux I noticed that to it's left was a faint but noticably very red star. could anyone tell me if this star has a name? thanks.
