We observed the field of the AXP CXO J164710.2-455216 on 2006 September 29 at Ks band, using the near-IR imaging camera PANIC (Persson's Auxilliary Nasmyth Infrared Camera) on the Magellan/Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory (LCO) in Chile. The total exposure was 27 min, reaching a limiting magnitude of 20.3 mag (3-sigma). We astrometrically calibrated our image using 23 2MASS stars, and the resulting nominal uncertainty for locating the X-ray source (Muno et al.
