Zach Golkhou (ASU), and Vicki Toy (UMD) report: We observed the field of GRB 170202A (Racusin, et al., GCN 20575) with the Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR; www.ratir.org) on the 1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir from 2017/02 3.18 to 2017/02 3.57 UTC (9.92 to 19.17 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of 3.98 hours exposure in the r and i bands and 1.68 hours exposure in the Z and Y bands. For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle (Osborne, et al., GCN 20586), in comparison with the SDSS DR9 and 2MASS catalogs, we obtain the following detections: r = 20.68 +/- 0.01 i = 20.83 +/- 0.02 Z = 20.84 +/- 0.07 Y = 20.50 +/- 0.06 These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic extinction in the direction of the GRB.
