Toy (UMD) report:

We observed the field of GRB 180325A (Troja et al., GCN 22532) with the
Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR; www.ratir.org) on
the 1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio Astron��mico
Nacional on Sierra San Pedro M��rtir from 2018/03 25.12 to 2018/03 25.23
UTC (1.02 to 3.67 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of
1.47 hours exposure in the r and i bands and hours exposure in the Z, Y,
J, and H bands.

For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle, in comparison with the
SDSS DR9 catalog, we obtain the following detections:

  r	= 19.79 +/- 0.02
  i	= 19.38 +/- 0.01

These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.

We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional in San Pedro
M��rtir.
