Frankly the term "noted independently" is pretty lame and understates your achievement.
You are at a disadvantage that the "other discoverer" decides on the terminology.

Thanks Steven. Yes I'm not completely happy with the wording but I think that's all I'm going to get out of them and it's certainly way better than nothing. Bottom line is that they got a paper out and that gives them bragging rights even though I probably saw the cluster first. The lesson in this is that I should have pursued it much more aggressively immediately after I took the image.
