Left panel: 2003 Gemini/Near-Infrared Imager image in H₂ 2.12 μm. The ridge of nebulosity extending southward from LkHα 225 North, which is apparent in optical images, is present in the near-infrared, as well. Also familiar is the compact nebulosity just northeast of LkHα 225 South, which was seen in our 1999 optical image (Figure 2). Several additional extended nebulosities appear in H₂ that are not seen in the optical. Right panels: spectra taken in 2003 of LkHα 225 North (labeled V1318 Cyg North) and LkHα 225 South (labeled V1318 Cyg South), during the faint state of the latter. The 1–4 μm data show a red continuum in both components of LkHα 225. Lower plots in each case highlight the K-band spectral region.
