Chandra-HETG observations were performed on the bursting accreting milli-second X-ray pulsar IGR J17511-3057 (Baldovin et al. ATEL #2196, and further reported upon in ATEL #2197, #2198, #2199). We have used these observations to refine the X-ray position. By intersecting the image of the Medium Energy Grating (MEG) dispersed spectra with the CCD readout streak from the 0th order image, we find a J2000.0 position of: RA: 17 51 08.66 Dec: -30 57 41.0 We estimate that the 1sigma statistical error on the position is 0.1 arcsec, while the 1sigma systematic error on the position is 0.6 arcsec.
