Hajdas, on behalf of the RHESSI GRB team, report:


Fermi (GBM), Konus-Wind, Swift (BAT),  MESSENGER (GRNS), and RHESSI
observed the very bright GRB 100829A at about 75729 s UT (21:02:09) (the 
Fermi/GBM trigger 304808530). The burst was outside the coded field of 
view of the BAT.

We have triangulated this burst to the following 3 sigma error box:
-----------------------------------------------
      RA(2000), deg              Dec(2000), deg
-----------------------------------------------
Center:
   90.409 (06h 01m 38s)   +30.314 (+30d 18' 49")
Corners:
   90.335 (06h 01m 20s)   +29.523 (+29d 31' 22")
   90.353 (06h 01m 25s)   +30.317 (+30d 19' 02")
   90.490 (06h 01m 58s)   +31.121 (+31d 07' 16")
   90.464 (06h 01m 51s)   +30.310 (+30d 18' 37")
-----------------------------------------------

The error box area is 278 sq. arcmin.
The maximum distance between the box corners is 1.6 deg.
This error box may be improved.
