We took a series of Y-band photometry calibration data
for the field of GRB090423 using the 1.0m telescope at
Mt. Lemmon (Arizona, US) operated by the Korea Astronomy
Space Science Institute.
For the Y-band photometry standards, we used P239-C and
GD140 from UKIRT faint standards, and HIP 50459, a A0V star
from Hipparcos catalog. The zero points obtained for
these standards are applied to our observation of
the GRB090423 field, yielding Y-band photometry (Vega) for
objects in the GRB field down to Y(MKO) ~ 17.5 magnitude at 10-sigma.
The expected zero point accuracy is ~0.1mag.
To derive AB mag, add 0.63 mag to the values listed in
the catalog.
The calibration data and finding charts are available at

observation.
