XMM-Newton observed the recently discovered X-ray transient MAXI J1659-152 (Negoro et al. 2010, ATel #2873; Mangano et al. 2010, GCN #11296) from UT 27 September 2010 15:58 to 28 September 2010 06:41 for a total exposure of 53 ksec. We see an extremely bright source in the EPIC-pn (0.15-15 keV) CCD. A quick-look analysis reveals an estimate on the source count rate of more than 2000 counts/s, based on the raw light curves, which roughly translates to more than 0.2 Crab.
