Direct imaging results with V, R, and forbidden O II filters in good seeing are reported for an 80 arcsec x 80 arcsec field centered on the BL Lac object AO 0235 + 164. Redshifted forbidden O II 3727 A emission totaling 9.2 + or - 0.6 x 10 to the -16th ergs/sq cm/s extends over an oval region about 6 arcsec x 4 arcsec. The light distribution in all filters appears to have at least two distinct peaks, one near the previously known V = 21 object 2 arcsec south in projection from AO 0235 + 164, the second 1.3 arcsec east of AO 0235. The detection of 1.4 x 10 to the -16th ergs/sq cm/s in emission at the same wavelength 26 arcsec southwest of the BL Lac in projection is reported. The possible ionization mechanisms are discussed.
