M. H. Siegel (PSU), M. Baer (PSU) and K. L. Page (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210610B
92 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 30170). A fading source consistent
with the XRT position (Osborne et al. GCN Circ. 30189) and the previously reported
optical counterpart (Kumar et al., GCN Circ. 30174; Rumyantsev et al. GCN Circ.
30175; Hu et al., GCN Circ. 30177; de Wet et al., GCN Circ. 30180; Romanov, GCN Circ.
30181; Fynbo et al., GCN Circ. 30182; Moskvitin, GCN Circ. 30187; Fu et al., GCN Circ.
30188) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The preliminary UVOT position is:
   RA  (J2000) =  16:15:40.40 = 243.91833 (deg.)
   Dec (J2000) = +14:23:56.9  =  14.39915 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.42 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).

Preliminary detections using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.044 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
