We have imaged the unusual OH/IR object G 284-0.8 (Roberts 22) in the OH transitions at 1612, 1665 and 1667 MHz using the Australia Telescope Compact Array in Narrabri, NSW, Australia. The angular resolution of the OH images we present here is 6 arcsec (12000 AU at a distance of 2 kpc). We find OH emission, of extent 1.5 arcsec (2800 AU), located inside the optical bipolar flow region (size 8 arcsec) discovered by Allen et al. (1980) and imaged recently by Sahai et al. (1999) with the Hubble Space Telescope. We present astrometry of Roberts 22, providing registration of the OH and Hubble Space Telescope images to within ~0.35 arcsec. We describe the OH velocity field in Roberts 22 and discuss the kinematic properties of the source and its evolutionary status.
