This is a possible cluster at John Herschel's position. He says of it only "A double star in a tolerable cluster in which is one star 9 m." To my eye on a DSS image, this is a group of 20-30 stars covering an area about 15 arcmin by 11 arcmin. Brian Skiff sees it as an "asterism, center defined as position of a wide magnitude 12 pair."

Whatever the true nature of the object, the 9th magnitude star is a couple of arcmin northwest of the double in the center of the group.
