﹩V{{R}_{C}}{{I}_{C}}﹩-band three-color image of NGC 7129 and the L1181 molecular cloud obtained by G. H. Herbig in 1999 October (orientation: north up, east left). This 7.′5 × 7.′5 field is centered on the grouping of early-type stars within the reflection nebula that includes BD+65°1638 (south), BD+65°1637 (west), LkHα 234 (east) and SVS 13 (north). LkHα 234 lies within the dense ridge of molecular gas that extends several arcminutes and outlines the evacuated region of the molecular cloud. To the northeast, just over half the distance from the cluster center to the corner, is the ghostly outline of HH 105, and to the southwest, near the edge of the field of view, HH 103 which is likely associated with FIRS 2 or V392 Cep (RNO 138). FIRS 2, undetected at optical wavelengths, lies near the center of the bottom edge of the field of view, just south of V392 Cep.
