We used archival data from the Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns) and MIPS (24 microns) instruments for 17 Lynds clouds within 1° of the galactic equator. We selected these objects because a preliminary literature search provided IRAS data indicating star formation may be taking place. The goal of this study was to search for signs of star formation in each of these dark dust clouds of Lynds opacity classes 5 and 6, to further explore any known young stellar objects (YSOs) in these clouds, and to search for additional embedded YSOs. In this poster we present our observational methods and the results of our observations including SEDs, color-color diagrams, and color composite images. Research was made possible through the Spitzer Space Telescope Research Program for Teachers and Students and was funded by the Spitzer Science Center (SSC) and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO).
