NGC6067 and something ?
Made an image of NGC 6067 and found an interesting object in the picture.
I looked at many pictures on the net and could not find any picture with this in it.
The sky doesnt show it too.
If any one could shed some light on this, it would be appreciated.
Pic one full and pic two a crop.

In Uranometria 2000 Vol 3 Mike's name is the primary, Martin's is an alternate.
It lists it at 16h14'32.0" -54d57'30", 23" diameter, mag 12.6 with "Mag 13.7 star on E edge."
PK328-2.1 is in this field too, just left of 8714-1421-1, but I can't spot it. Crop of the top right corner, at the same image scale.

Thank you very much Andrew
Just a pity it is not visible (must be very tiny).

Nice capture Martin, nice image, Sorry though mate you didn't discover something new but you might be happy to know it was discovered here in Australia at Siding Springs.
I found one near Lambda Centauri Nebula which had me guessing for a while until I opened the right database and found it sitting there. Maybe one day we will find something new.

It is almost the same size (22"), but PK328-2.1 is listed at mag 16.7 against PK329-2.2 at 12.6
4.1 magnitude difference makes it 44 times dimmer.
