On 20-21 October 2005, the remaining six Chandra/HRC-I observations (as mentioned in ATEL #637) were performed as part of the XMM-Newton/ Chandra monitoring campaign of the 1.7 square degree region around Sgr A* (Wijnands et al. 2005, A&A submitted, astro-ph/0508648). The neutron star X-ray transient SAX J1747.0-2853 was in the field-of-view of one of these observations and we detected the source at a 2-10 keV luminosity (at a distance of 8 kpc) of ~8E35 erg/s (obtained using PIMMS and assuming an absorbed power-law model with a column density of 7E22 cm^-2 and a photon index of 2; uncorrected for vignetting effects).
