Following the report on MASTER OTJ013135.43+555831.5 by Denisenko et al.,2014 (Atel #6432). We carried out NIR photometry recently, On October 4th,2014 (JD2456934.8775), we found the object with fluxes corresponding to J = 14.879 +/- 0.05, H = 13.431 +/- 0,05 and Ks = 12.236 +/- 0.05. That is fluxes about 20% brighter than the photometry published by the 2MASS Survey, the photometry is consistent with the object being and AGN. We plan to follow its behavior in the NIR in order to correlate those data with other time variable data. Our observations were carried out with the 2.telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory of the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (Mexico), equipped with the instrument CANICA a NIR camera. We encourage further multi wavelength coverage of this object.
