Following the discovery of the new hard X-ray transient IGR J17494-3030 with INTEGRAL (Atel #3984, #3985), a follow-up observation has been performed with Swift on 2012 March 20 at 15:04 UTC (total exposure time 1 ks). A single object is detected within the JEM-X error circle. The best determined Swift/XRT position (90% c.l.) is at:
RA=267.3491
DEC=-30.4998
(=17h 49m 23.78s, -30° 29' 59.3''; J2000) with an associated uncertainty of 2.2 arcsec (we used the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources to the USNO-B1 catalog, see http://www.swift.ac.uk/user_objects and Evans et al.
