F. ; Reipurth, Bo Abstract The discovery is reported of what appears to be an SNR at unusually high latitude near the Galactic anticenter. CCD images in the light of both forbidden S II and H-alpha show patchy filaments scattered over a 3-arcmin region, but with relative strengths in the two lines which vary by a factor of 20 from one filament to another. Spectra confirm the line identification and variable intensities. The most extreme filaments have line flux ratios forbidden S II/H-alpha of roughly 5, among the highest observed in SNR. The position of G203.2 - 12.3 coincides with that of a 'guest star' recorded by Chinese astronomers in A.D. 483.
