Starting 2011-February-11 at 19:22UT Swift performed an 8ks target of opportunity observation of a field that contains the known recurrent transient SAX J1747.0-2853. Swift/XRT detects SAX J1747.0-2853 in outburst with a flux of 8x10-8 erg/s/cm-2 (0.3-10 keV, uncorrected for absorption), and clearly in outburst. Swift finds the following location for the source, RA,Dec (J2000) = 266.76125, -28.88324, which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 17h 47m 2.7s Dec(J2000) = -28d 52m 59.7s ith an estimated error of 1.9 arc-seconds radius (90% confidence), consistent with the Chandra localization of SAX J1747.0-2853.
