Abstract
The region around the infrared source V645 Cygni has been studied with a variety of optical techniques. Several indications of mass outflow have been discovered in this young star. Imaging has revealed a long, linear feature which resembles morphologically the emission jets found near other young stars. In V645 Cygni, however, the feature is shown to be predominantly reflection. A high-velocity [S II] system has been found between the two brightest parts of the nebula, and a Herbig-Haro object has been found to the south of the nebula.
