It isn't a cluster member.

Michael K.  ->  I remember Brian Skiff posted succinct and good reasons
for it not being so to AAVSO list when you first commented on it there,
have you still got that email? (I only check their maillist archive from
time to time so don't have a copy, and it was a while ago).

I could explain why not too, but he says it better and more
authoritatively.  [Basically the cluster members have bog all proper
motion (approximately zero) whilst this star has appreciable proper
motion (check with SIMBAD for said).  On top of that point, which I'd
also noted afore, Brian also made points re apparent brightness and
spectral class relative to cluster members' apparent brightnesses and
spectral classes, suggesting different distances].
