Using the Hiltner 2.4.m telescope of the MDM Observatory and the wide-field imager/spectrograph OSMOS, I observed the optical counterpart of MAXI J0556-332 (Matsumura et al., ATel #3102) as localized by the Swift XRT (Kennea et al., ATel #3103). The star suggested by Kennea et al. at (J2000.0) R.A. = 05h56m46.28s, Decl. = -33d10'26.3" has brightened to R ~ 17.8 from its USNO B1.0 magnitude of R = 19.9.
