Following the report of increased activity of the high redshift FSRQ PKS1502+106, (Atel #7783, #7799 #7801) z= 1.83, we obtained NIR photometry for this object, on July,16th 2015, MJD2457219.73829, we found this object with fluxes corresponding to: J = 14.397, H = 13.572, Ks = 12.672, An increase in flux of a factor of 6 with respect to our previous observations for MJD 2456782.8687. 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.
