Multi-colour (JHKs) imaging and photometry of the field of the AnomalousX-ray Pulsar AXP 1E 1841-045 is analysed in the light of new, accuratecoordinates from Chandra (Wachter et al, 2004). From excellentquality images,we find multiple sources in and around the position error circle. Of these,none can be confidently identified as the infrared counterpart. The limitingmagnitudes reached were J=22.1, H=20.7 and Ks=19.9$ (95% confidence).Comment: 8 pages LaTeX, 2 eps figures; ApJ accepte
