Scientific paper

We have obtained I-band images for the new accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1751-305 (IAUC#7867,#7870,#7872,#7874,#7876) with the 6.5-m Baade telescope and the MagIC CCD camera at the Las Campanas Observatory on 2002 April 14. At the position of the possible infrared counterpart (IAUC#7874), we found no optical sources to a limiting magnitude of I = 22.5. A possible optical counterpart with I = 19.6 +/- 0.1 is found at R.A.=17h51m13s.53, Dec=-30d37'23".8 (J2000, 0.2" uncertainty); it is 0.7" and 0.9" from the infrared and Chandra positions, respectively.
