I have observed the localization of the HETE transient HETE J1900.5-2455 (Vanderspek et al., ATEL #516), which has been identified as a 2.65-ms X-ray pulsar (Morgan, Kaaret & Vanderspek, ATEL #523), with the Robotic Palomar 60-inch Telescope, in five 120-s R-band and five 120-s i-band exposures extending from 07:27 to 07:57 UT on 18 June 2005. Comparison of these images to the Digitized Sky Survey reveals the presence of a single new or brightened object within the localization region, at coordinates RA 19:00:08.65, Dec -24:55:13.7 (J2000), with estimated coordinate uncertainty of 0.2".
