Abstract
We present results from a first analysis of optical data on G 69.4+2.4 obtained with the 0.3 m and 1.3 m telescopes at Skinakas Observatory. Filamentary emission is detected in the [OIII] 5007 A and Halpha+[NII] images oriented in the south-west, north-east direction. The Halpha+[NII] images reveal a complex network of filaments, while the [OIII] images show a single filament. Low resolution spectra were also obtained which identify the observed emission as emission from shock heated gas.
