The south-eastern portion of the supernova remnant G78.2+2.1, in Cygnus, has been detected as a weak X-ray source by the Einstein Observatory. The X-ray structure is similar to that of the radio filaments in this region, and confirms that X-ray emission in this portion of the “Cygnus super-bubble” does originate in a known supernova remnant. Marginally significant variations in X-ray hardness across the mapped area have been detected and can be related to known radio and optical features of the remnant. In its X-ray properties, G78.2+2.1 resembles IC443.
