TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT

(GSFC) on behalf of the Swift XRT team:

The Swift XRT began observing GRB 051021B (trigger #160672, Retter et al., 
GCN 4126) at 23:33:14 UT, but was unable to obtain an on-board centroid. 
Analysis of the first 2 orbits of the ground data reveal a previously 
uncatalogued, fading X-ray source at the following coordinates:

RA(J2000) = 08 24 11.8
Dec(J2000) = -45 32 30.8

We estimate an uncertainty of 4 arcseconds (90% containment), including 
corrections for the XRT boresight offset.  This position lies 88 
arcseconds from the BAT position reported in GCN 4126.
