Abstract
Wide-field optical imaging was obtained of the cluster and reflection nebula NGC 7023 and the Bok globule B175. We report the discovery of four new Herbig-Haro (HH) objects in NGC 7023, the first HH objects to be found in this region. They were first detected by their H-alpha and [S II] emission but are also visible at 3.6 and 4.5micron in archival Spitzer observations of this field. These HH objects are part of at least two distinct outflows. Both outflows are aligned with embedded "Class I" YSOs in a tight group on the western edge of the nebula. One of the outflows may have a projected distance of 0.75pc, which is a notable length for an embedded source. No new HH objects were discovered in B175. However, we reclassify the knot HH450X, in B175, as a background galaxy. The discovery that HH 450X is not a shock front weakens the argument that HH 450 and SNR G110.3+11.3 are co-located and interacting.
