Following the report of the MASTER OT J083246.08+661700.7 (Atel#5526), we carried out observations
in the H band of this object on two epochs for October 31st,2013. We found an object at the position provided by MASTER on JD 2456596.0336690, H = 17.262 +/- 0.03 and on JD 2456596.999185 H = 17.344 +/- 0.05. Although is was detected by the WISE experiment, the object was not detected by the 2MASS survey, probably just below its detection limit for this field. Spectroscopy would be highly
desirable in order to establish the nature of this object. Our 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.
