We observed the new X-ray transient, MAXI J0556-332 (ATel #3102, #3103,
#3104, #3106, #3110, #3112) with the Faulkes Telescope South on 17 and
18 January 2011 (MJD 55578.4 and 55579.5). On each date, three 200-sec
exposures were taken; one each in Bessel V, R, and I bands, totalling
six images. The suggested optical counterpart (ATel #3103) was confirmed
(ATel #3104) by a brightening and the detection of hydrogen and helium
emission lines in its spectra.
