Thanks Ric, glad you enjoyed it


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
