We have acquired monochromatic imaging of the bipolar outflow source NGC 2440 in 12 ionic transitions using the 1.5 m Telescope at the Observatorio de San Pedro Mártir, Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. As a result, we have been able to undertake detailed analysis of the shell ionisation structure. Then, we found that excitation is high close the center, extending towards the exterior at located radial positions. Edges and ansae are zones of low excitation indicating probably shock regions, in particular the outer shell.
