  Near-infrared observations of line emission from excited H2 and in the
continuum are reported in the direction of the Orion molecular cloud OMC1,
using the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope UT4, equipped with
the NAOS adaptive optics system and the CONICA infrared array camera. Spatial
resolution has been achieved at close to the diffraction limit of the telescope
(0.08" - 0.12") and images show a wealth of morphological detail. Structure is
not fractal but shows two preferred scale sizes of 2.4" (1100 AU) and 1.2" (540
AU), where the larger scale may be associated with star formation.
