Using the data sets from the recent telemetry downlinks,
we report on the two BAT triggers on the new galactic source Swift J174510.8-262411
(BAT triggers 533836 and 533850) (Cummings, et al., GCN Circ. 13774).

Trigger 533836: 
The partial coding was 48%.
Using the data set from T-41 to T+557 sec (T=09:16:06.34),
the mask-weighted light curve shows the source to be active when it came 
into the BAT FoV during a regular pre-planned slew.  The flux was constant
at 0.06 ph/cm2/sec.
The time-averaged spectrum from T_0 to T+303 plus T+387 to T+557 sec
(there is an 84-sec hole in the downlinked data at this time)
is best fit by a simple power-law model.  The power law index of the
time-averaged spectrum is 1.78 +- 0.29.  
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. 
The results of the batgrbproduct analysis are available at

Trigger 533850:  
The partial coding was 100%.
Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec (T=12:36:22.34),
the BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 266.335, -26.419 deg,
which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  17h 45m 20.4s 
   Dec(J2000) = -26d 25' 09.5" 
with an uncertainty of 2.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The mask-weighted light curve shows the source to be active when it
came into the FoV at T-220 sec, and at a constant flux of 0.066 ph/cm2/sec
out to T+950 sec.  Plus the source has been continuously visible
in the BAT onboard imaging data since the initial trigger
in all observations (as of 14:50 UT).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.0 to T+64.0 sec (the trigger
integration interval) is best fit by a simple power-law model.
The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.92 +- 0.41.
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
