Is this it?

 

Well, I may have sounded like I am well acquainted with this cluster, but actually I have never heard of it before!  Looking at your image, there appeared to be an open cluster on the left, so I consulted Sky Safari and it seems to be in the correct position for Haff 6. What you have snipped above is what I was referring to though, I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that is Haff 6.

Thanks Rob.  One of the things I love about this hobby is that the more you look at an astro image the more there is to see

A further tweak to try to bring out more of the faint nebulosity in Thor's Nebula ...

And also the fainter stars in Haffner 6 ...
