Several typical examples of one-dimensional spectra extracted from the two-dimensional GMOS data. The top five traces are all [S II]-selected candidates, confirmed as SNRs through these spectra. The SN1957D spectrum includes a near-coincident H II region with narrow lines; the broad oxygen and sulfur lines are less apparent here than in the version with a magnified vertical scale in Long et al. (2012, Figure 4). B12-314 is an [O III]-selected candidate, and is unresolved even with HST; it is probably a bright planetary nebula. The X-ray source L14-135 is located ﹩\lt 1^{\prime\prime} ﹩ away, but this may be a chance coincidence with an X-ray binary. The bottom trace is a typical H II region. The spectra have been arbitrarily scaled and vertically offset for clarity.
