An H$_2$ emission filament is found in close proximity to the unique objectKH 15D using the adaptive optics system of the Subaru Telescope. The morphologyof the filament, the presence of spectroscopic outflow signatures observed byHamilton et al., and the detection of extended H$_2$ emission from KH 15D byDeming, Charbonneau, & Harrington suggest that this filament arises fromshocked H$_2$ in an outflow. The filament extends about 15" to the north of KH15D.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 1 table. Astrophysical Journal Letters, in pres
