  We report on new observations obtained with the Magellan Clay-telescope of a
tiny dust patch in the Sa-galaxy NGC 3269 in the Antlia galaxy cluster. It has
already been suspected to be a projected Galactic foreground cloud. In this
case a size of about 4 arcsec and a maximum absorption of ~1 mag in the B-band
would make it unique so far. We present further evidence for its Galactic
nature from imaging under excellent seeing conditions (0.3-0.6 arcsec). This
dust cloud could be the first optically identified counterpart of a new type of
molecular cloud recently discovered by Heithausen (2004).
