At 16:46 UT on August 30th, 2011 Swift began a 1ks target of opportunity observation of the newly discovered X-ray transient MAXI J1836-194 (Negoro et al., ATEL #3611). Analysis of Swift/XRT Photon Counting mode data reveal a bright (~36 XRT count/s), uncatalogued X-ray source at the following UVOT enhanced location: RA/Dec (J2000) = 278.93097, -19.32004, which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 18h 35m 43.43s Dec(J2000) = -19d 19m 12.1s with an estimated uncertainty of 1.8 arc-seconds radius (90% confidence).
