  I-band images of the OH maser source OH44.8-2.3 are presented. Having a
well-determined distance, this object is shown to be very young and physically
small, with an asymmetric compact bipolar nebula already present. In the
morphological terminology of Meixner et al. (2000) and Ueta et al. (2000), this
object would be classified as a DUPLEX nebula because of its high optical depth
and pole-to-equator density contrast.
