NGC6520/Barnard 86 and....?

[Stu]

I was trawling around SkySafari 4 Pro and happened across this object which confused me. I see NGC6520 and B86 listed and have found images of them, but the irregular cluster surrounding them in SS4 doesn't seem to show up. Strange question but is this real and observable or a figment of SkySafari's imagination?

It's pretty low and tricky for me so this is a hypothetical observing question until I emigrate

It is specifically the dense star cloud surrounding the two identified objects which interest me....

Could it be just a poorly inserted image?

I've seen similar effects in other programmes.

That's what I'm wondering Nigel, it does seem to a bit strange and I'm sure it would be a more popular object if it looked like that!
