Balloon-borne far infrared observations of the rho Ophiuchus Cloud and the Lagoon Nebula (M8) are summarized. There are several B-stars in the rho-Opiuchus cloud (the brighter FIR sources are each several hundred solar luminosities), but conditions favor the formation of many less-luminous objects. Examination of M8 in the far infrared shows very little emission from most of the Lagoon Nebula, but a fairly compact peak centered on the star Herschel 36. The stars forming the optical cluster NGC6530 dispersed much of the molecular material in front of Herschel 36, from which they were themselves formed. Although the remnant of their parent cloud exists behind Herschel 36, it is now too far away to be heated significantly by the cluster.
