B174/LDN1164 is a dark nebula that nearly fits my field of view. Most
are too big. IR shows it is hiding a bunch of new stars which isn't
much of a surprise. One is seen just to the east of the northern end of
the cloud. I show it in a separate image. It seen because it is a
Herbig Haro object known as HH354. It is obvious in the luminance image
but was difficult in the red image. Some H alpha data likely would have
helped bring it out. I didn't find any distance estimates for this
Cepheus object.
