During the last few years radio and x-ray astronomers have produced high-resolution imagery of the remnant of Cas A. Since the most recent published optical photographs of Cas A date back to 1975 (Kamper and van den Bergh 1976 a, b) it seemed worthwhile to present new optical results based on plates obtained with the 5-m Hale telescope in 1976, 1977 and 1980. A photograph taken in 1980 is shown in Fig. 1.
