  We present diffraction-limited images in the 11.3 micron PAH band and in the
continuum at 11.9 microns of the S287B star forming region obtained with the
newly commissioned mid-infrared imager/spectrometer VISIR at the VLT. In both
filters five point-like sources are detected, of which at least one has a
spectral energy distribution reminiscent of a Lada Class I source. We also
report on the discovery of a new Herbig Ae star in this region. It is
particularly striking that the brightest mid-infrared source in this region has
not been detected at shorter wavelengths; it is a good candidate to be the
driving source of the bipolar molecular outflow and optical reflection
nebulosity previously reported in S287B.
