yes, 6067 is a nice cluster

It seems that Ngc6067 is on several lists. Besides it being Caldwell 89 it is on the Astronomical League southern list so I made a point of taking a peek at it back in March of this year on a trip down to South Australia.

Here is what I was able to jot down at the time and it seems to be one of those clusters without a wide range in magnitudes which can be nice in it's own way as these can seem like a fine blanket of stars. I did not catch Harvard 10 at the time. Below is from 3/17/2010 in a 12" Bintel Dob from Arkaroola Australia.
