We report on NIR photometry of the high redshift quasar (z=2.331) BZQJ1432-1801, associated with the radio source PKS1430-178 and probably associated with the Gamma-ray source Fermi J1433-1806 (ATel # 6310).
On June 11th, 2015 (MJD 2457184.7007), we found the source with a NIR flux corresponding to H = 17.394 +/- 0.05. At this time the object is significantly brighter than it was at the time of the 2mass survey. Our observations are 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 multiwavelength coverage.
