Scientific paper

After the transient X-ray binary SAX J1808.4-3658 was reported to be outbursting in X-rays on 2008 Sept. 21 (ATEL #1728), we have requested Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) TOO observations of the source. On 2008 Sept. 29 (UTC), our first one-hour r' imaging observation was carried out. The detector used is MegaPrime, a wide-field optical imager. In the observation, the source was detected, with r'= 17.41+/-0.04.
