The SIMBAD position for Tombaugh 2 (=C 0701-207 ; J2000 07:03.4 -20:51) appears to correspond to an unremarkable star field in the Digitized Sky Survey. The
Dias et al. open cluster catalog
lists Tombaugh 2 at (J2000) 07:03:05 -20:49:00, some 4.9' away from the SIMBAD position, where a very obvious stellar concentration is seen on Digitized Sky Survey.
From my examination of the DSS, I estimate the center position of the cluster to be (J2000) 07:03:06 -20:49:18. I recommend that SIMBAD adopt the Dias et al. position for Tombaugh 2 as the best published estimate.
