What is the name of this cluster?

What is the name of the bright open cluster at top left above the Red Engine Solar Car? There is a bright star on the left of the OC.

Well done Andrew. The OC is IC 4665, the star on the left of the OC is beta Oph.

No problems Glen. It put up a fight but astrometry.net won in the end. The Cygwin version doesn't get the Greek letters right on the overlay (just draws boxes meaning it isn't using the right fonts), but the Linux one does. If you hadn't noticed I edited out most of the objects obscured by the foreground. I left κ Oph. (Method: run plot-constellations without an input image, then layer the generated PNG over the JPG.)
