We observed the optical and NIR counterpart of the recently discovered X-ray transient MAXI J1659-152 (Negoro et al. 2010, ATel #2873; Mangano et al. 2010, GCN #11296) with the REM telescope located in La Silla (Chile) in imaging mode using the V, R, I, J, H and K filters. Observations were carried out on 2009 Sept. 30, starting from 23:43 UT (MJD 55469.985) for a total duration of six minutes. The source is well detected in all bands with a magnitude of R = 16.3 (calibrated against Landolt standard stars) and H = 14.7 (calibrated against the 2MASS catalogue).
