Description

The open cluster NGC 5460 seems quite not spectacular however it has a nice galaxy right in the centre, next to one of the stars, the ESO 221-25. Also there is a larger galaxy outside (visual), centre down of the field, the PGC 50448 and, a tiny galaxy to the right hand side of the cluster, the ESO 221-29, as an small faint, line shape one. Also it is possible to see a quite unusual red star in the field, close to the last small galaxy.
