We report on Target of Opportunity observations performed with Swift on 2008 April 11 and 15, and MERLIN on April 13 of the extremely fast nova V2491 Cyg (IAUC #8934, #8935, CBET #1334, ATel #1475). During the first Swift/XRT observation (3.76 ksec; taken near the optical peak of the nova outburst, see IAUC #8934), using a 10 pixel extraction region for the source at the position of Swift J194302.1+321913, we measure 6 counts compared to an estimated background level of 1.27 counts.
