There is a 2MASS point source very close to the position reported in IAUC
7556 by Platais et al. for V445 Pup (R.A. = 7h37m56s.882, Decl. =
-25o56'58".88 (J2000)).  2MASSI J0737568-255658 is listed at R.A. = 07h 37m
56m.881, Decl. = -25o 56' 58".85 (J2000) in the Two Micron All Sky Survey
(2MASS) Second Incremental Data Release Point Source Catalog.

Assuming the two objects are one and the same, the following photometric
magnitudes from the 2MASS Second Incremental Data Release Point Source
Catalog represent pre-outburst observations of V445 Pup (epoch 1999 Feb.
2.236): J = 12.270 +/- 0.031, H = 11.933 +/- 0.036, K = 11.515 +/- 0.030.
