We observed the field of the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 1E1547.0-5408 on 2009 January 18, using the PANIC camera on the 6.5-meter Magellan/ Baade telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. The on-source time was 17 min in Ks-band, resulting in a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of 20.1. Comparing our image with that reported by Gelfand & Gaensler (ApJ, 667, 1111), we detected three additional sources around the object that was found to be located within the Chandra error circle by them.
