report:

This burst was observed by Ulysses, Mars Odyssey, Konus, RHESSI,
Suzaku, and Swift-BAT (outside the field of view) at 51821 s.  It was
long (~120 s) and exceptionally bright (details of the spectrum will be
given in a forthcoming GCN Circular).  We have triangulated it to an ~
8 sq. arcmin. error box (3 sigma) whose coordinates are:

    RA(2000)                 DEC(2000)
 18 h  8 m 34.56 s    -20 o 22 '  49.51 "  (CENTER)
 18 h  8 m 34.80 s    -20 o 24 '   9.69 "  (CORNER)
 18 h  8 m 47.14 s    -20 o 24 '  45.83 "  (CORNER)
 18 h  8 m 22.00 s    -20 o 20 '  53.12 "  (CORNER)
 18 h  8 m 34.32 s    -20 o 21 '  29.33 "  (CORNER)

This error box may be improved.
