Following the report by L. Pacciani (ATEL#8323) on the flaring state of the FSRQ PKS2320-035 a high redshift QSO (z=1.411) also
known as BZQJ 2323-0317, associated with the Gamma-ray Source 2GGLJ2323.6-0316, We carried out NIR photometry of this object on December 5th,2015 (MJD2457361.662). For this epoch we found the NIR fluxes to correspond to J = 14.765 +/- 0.03, H = 13.968 +/- 0,03 and Ks = 13.066 +/- 0.06. On MJD2456596.85 we had obtained an upper limit of the flux in the H band (H >17) for this object.
Our observations are carried out with the 2.1m 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.
