Extract

Lynds 1642 is a small, somewhat insignificant dark cloud centred at 04h33, — 14°20 (1950). On a IIIaJ UKSTU Schmidt plate it may be seen to lie within an approximately circular patch of nebulosity which we believe to be visible by reflection. Its galactic location (l = 210°.9 b = -36°.5) places it beneath the local arm in the direction of Orion and it is likely that it is seen by reflection of the integrated light of the stars in that region of the galaxy.
