We report that on May 19th, 2013, MJD 2456431.6350 the quasar HB89 0736+017 (z=0.1894) was found on a rising flux event, with a flux corresponding to H = 13.65 +/- 0.05. On this date, we found that the source had brightening by 0.45 mag in the H band with respect to the flux previously measured on MJD 2456343.83. The source is cross identified with the Gamma-Ray source 2FGL0739.2+0138, Observations were carried out with the 2.1m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory operated by the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (Mexico), equipped with the instrument CANICA a NIR camera. We strongly encourage further multi wavelength coverage of this interesting object.
