Near infrared and Ha CCD images of the newly found cometary reflection nebula GN 20.18.3. led to the discovery of its illuminating star and of a bright Ha knot located on its axis of symmetry. The knot has a Herbig-Haro spectrum indicating the presence of a collimated outflow from the central star. Also in the Bok globule L 810 a red CCD image reveals a cometary reflection nebula surrounding the central star, from which a shock excited filament is emanating. These observations emphasize the common origin of cometary nebulae and collimated high velocity flows.
