Abstract We present new images of the well-known molecular outflow and Herbig-Haro complex L 1551-IRS 5. Deep, high-resolution images of the central region of the flow in [SII] λλ 6716,6731 and Hα (6565 Å) are complemented by a mosaic of much of the CO outflow in H2 v=1-0 S(1). While the optical data trace the intermediate-to-high excitation shocks in the flow (v shock 〉 30 – 50 km s−1), the near-IR data reveal the lower-excitation, molecular shocks (v shock ∼ 10–50 km s−1). In particular, the H2 data highlight the regions where the flow impacts and shocks ambient molecular gas.
