Can I have some help on this one - took a mystery object last night

Hi learned people,

I took a quick shot last night as i took my son to Scouts - was only an hours worth and i pointed the scope in a region somewhere below or around Sagittarius. It is an open cluster with one distinctive feature - a large red star in a sea of blue ones? Its rather pretty, but in my haste I didn’t note what it could have been.

So – the challenge – can you positively identify the image contents?
