L 1642 is a very nearby high-Galactic-latitude cloud with low-mass star formation. A new Herbig-Haro object, HH 123, originating from the brighter component of the visual premain-sequence binary L 1642 - 2, has been discovered. It is a slightly elongated amorphous object, and low-dispersion spectra show it to be of intermediate excitation. High-resolution echelle spectra of a number of red lines reveal three emission components. They are interpreted in terms of two bow shocks moving in opposite directions away from the star. The energy source is a low-luminosity M0 emission-line star, and its companion is also an H-alpha emission star.
