The candidate cluster Collinder 466 has a diameter of 4.0 arcmin in the Dias et al. open cluster catalog (V3.0). The stellar field within a few arcminutes of the current SIMBAD position (J2000 07:07.3 -10:49) is rather featureless. Both the
Dias et al. catalog
and Archinal & Hynes (2003; "Star Clusters") list a position for Col 466 of (J2000) 07:06:56 -10:42:54, which is 8' from the SIMBAD position, however there is at least a concentration of stars visible at this position on the Digitized Sky Survey (mostly V ~ 11-14th magnitude). Dias et al. flag it as a "dubious" cluster. I recommend updating the SIMBAD coordinates to the Dias et al. and Archinal & Hynes position.
