finely structured dark clouds
stream of consciousness list of observations:
they're everywhere!
they tend to come in complexes 10s of arcmin in size
convention:? name of complex based on coord of largest cloud, with 0.1 degree acc,
names of individual features with 0.01 acc.
some have associated emission that looks like it may trace the cloud envelope,
and the cores are in the "tips" - these are like elephant trunk complexes!

here's one I think we can get a NICER map of:
