An IRAS image of the central region of the Rho Oph A dark cloud in each of the IRAS wavebands is constructed using a MEM in which no prior information of structure in the field is given to the maximum entropy routines. Six sources are detected in two or more wavebands in the 10 x 12 sq arcmin area mapped. All six are coincident with near-IR sources known from ground-based observations. The typical gain in resolution of the images reconstructed by the MEM over standard methods is 1.5-2 in the in-scan direction and 3-10 in the cross-scan direction. The flux densities and luminosities of all six sources are derived, and the flux densities for the two known IRAS sources agree within errors with those listed in the Point Source Catalog.
