We obtained a series of 300s exposures in the J, H & K' bands of the field of the candidate black hole transient XTE J1652-453 (ATEL #2107) using the Sirius simultaneous 3 channel NIR imager mounted on the Infrared Survey Facility 1.4m telescope at SAAO. Within the Swift error circle (ATEL #2120), there are at least two objects visible in the K' image (see chart): Star A: 16 52 20.4 -45 20 38.4, K' = 17.0 +/- 0.3 and the other at Star B: 16 52 20.3 -45 20 39.9, K' = 16.9 +/- 0.3 where the positional error is 0.5''.
