We have compared the images of two compact sources near the center of the Orion Nebula obtained with the VLA and HST. When the Hα image is scaled to the radio continuum we see similar objects. The VLA shows higher concentration of flux, reflecting the better resolution (FWHM=0.13″ versus 0.18″); but, does not show the extended cometary form of the sources due to the greater sensitivity of the HST.
