Thank you Mike
I like imaging these unusual targets, it is very satisfying especially after an obscure and lengthy star hopping session

Would you have exact RA DEC for the target ?
I tried to see if I could find the target this weekend but had no luck (the Moon of course didnt help...)

Hi Frank, the cluster is quite large in area and unfortunately its position in Starry Night is way off, but the part of it I have imaged is centered around USNO J2351426-260437 of magnitude 14.85. In SN this star has coordinates RA(J2000) 23h 51.711m, Dec(J2000) -26d 4.618'.
Good luck hunting it down, it's an extremely faint cluster but the star should lead you to it pretty easily.
Regards,
Rolf
