Following the refined position of the faint X-ray transient XTE J1728-295 (ATel #2824) also named IGR J17285-2922 and currently in outburst (ATel #2823, #2825), we report a search for the optical counterpart using the Faulkes Telescope South (located at Siding Spring, Australia). We performed imaging of the field centred on the Swift XRT position in V (200 sec on source), R (200 sec), I (three images totalling 520 sec) and H-alpha (200 sec) filters on 2010-09-01 (MJD 55440.4) and V (200 sec), R (200 sec) and I (two images totalling 400 sec) on 2010-09-02 (MJD 55441.4).
