"The coordinates given for this cluster place it between two small groupings of stars near CD-39°4573 and CD-39°4586 located at lower and left cetnre resp. of Figure 1. The former is located at the end of a small chain of sars which agrees with Ruprecht's (1966) descrtiption of the cluster, but its size is larger than that quoted by Pismis (1959). Inspection at the telescope showed that a mroe obvious group of stars occurs surrounding the nearby star CD-39°4582. However, our photometry of this group, assumed to be Pismis 5, gives no indication of a real cluster."

Difficult to found the group amongst the members of Ruprecht 64. I like this faint knot of faint stars with a half dozen members. To top it up there is also a planetary on the north-western end of the field and two nebulae
