Toy (UMD) report:

We observed the field of GRB 200125A (Lien et al., GCN Circ. 26876) 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 2020/01 25.48 to 2020/01 25.56
UTC (0.03 to 1.89 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of
1.40 hours exposure in the r and i bands.

We detect a a source within the enhanced Swift-XRT error circle
(Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 26878). In comparison with the USNO-B1 and
2MASS catalogs, we obtain the following detections:

  r	= 21.02 +/- 0.05
  i	= 19.54 +/- 0.02

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.
