dc.description We report on the first detection of optical emission from the shell-Type Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G108.2-0.6. We obtained Hα images and long-slit spectra using the 1.5-m RTT150 telescope to examine the morphological and spectral characteristics of the SNR. We detected several filaments along its north and south regions, which is consistent with its SNR nature. The spectra exhibit [S ii]/Hα ratios in the range of 0.4-1.1, indicating emission from shock-heated gas. The oxygen doublet emission lines [O i] λλ6300, 6363 detected in the south region also support the indicator of the presence of shocks. We estimate the electron density using the [S ii] 6716/6731 ratio ranging from 15 to 1800 cm-3. The spectra show a relatively low shock velocity of Vs ∼80 km s-1 with the pre-shock cloud density of nc ∼18-57 cm-3. The Hα/Hβ ratios show significant variation across the observed regions with extinction E(B-V) ranging from 0.22 to 1.65. We also analysed the archival H i data and estimated the kinematic distance to G108.2-0.6 of ∼0.8 kpc and its dynamical age as ∼70 ± 10 kyr.
