A CCD mosaic of an extended remnant in Cygnus

Abstract

We present the first CCD mosaic ever produced for the supernova remnant G 65.3+5.7 in [OII] 3727 at a moderate angular resolution. The remnant was observed with the 0.3 m wide-field telescope at Skinakas Observatory, Crete, Greece. Low resolution spectroscopy was performed at selected areas around this extended remnant. The spectral data are under analysis, while a first processing of the imaging observations produced impressive results.
