   Recent ROSAT and ASCA observations of the SNR Kes 32 / PSR 1610-50
   reveal pronounced complex, energy dependent extended structures.
   Unfortunately, in both observations the instruments were pointed on PSR
   1610-50 so that most of the remnant and the large radio plume emanating
   from Kes 32 was outside the fields of view inhibiting (for the SIS) a
   proper spectral analysis. The ASCA observation was rather short and
   yielded only statistically limited photon fluxes. In view of the
   confusing X-ray results and the highly peculiar radio morphology,
   indicating the superposition of two unrelated objects, which remained
   uncovered in both, the ASCA and the HRI observation, we propose a
   deeper ASCA pointing centered on the remnant to elucidate the physical
   properties of this young, unusual system.
