Hi Chucky,
This sounds like NGC 3293 (The Gem Cluster)

It sits on some of its nebulosity, north and slightly to the right of the cluster, about one degree from the nebula (just sits on the edge of it).
I'm still trying to learn co-ordinates, so I'm sorry I can't be more specific. But basically a little nudge up and to the right.

Others will join in and be more specific I'm sure.
It is a very pretty cluster!

Hope this map helps. Apart from showing The Gem Cluster, it shows many great treats in the area- The Wishing Well Cluster, The Pearl Cluster, The Jewell Box Cluster and Omega Centauri Globular Cluster.
