COMMENTS:        SWIFT-XRT Coordinates.  
COMMENTS:        This matches a source in the BAT ground catalog: Cyg X-1,   delta=0.004 [deg].  
COMMENTS:        The XRT position is 0.32 arcmin from the BAT position.  
COMMENTS:        The object found at this position is either a very bright burst or a cosmic ray hit.  
COMMENTS:        Examine the XRT Image to differentiate (CRs are much more compact); see examples at:
