We report optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the field containing the neutron star X-ray transient XTE J1739-285 (IAUC #7300, ATel #622). The recently reported Chandra localization (ATel #777) provides a significant improvement over the Swift XRT position reported in ATel #602, facilitating the identification of potential counterparts. Optical observations were performed on 2005 Aug 30 20:59-21:14 UT and 2005-09-16 20:39-20:55 at the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on La Palma using ALFOSC.
