We report the discovery of XMMSL1 J063045.9-603110, a new X-ray transient, found in an XMM-Newton slew from 1st December 2011. The source position (2000.0) is RA:06 30 45.9 DEC:-60 31 10 with an 8'' 1 sigma error circle.
The source is bright and point-like. The (0.2-2 keV) count rate was 32.6 ct/s in the EPIC-pn detector (medium filter). The slew data were severely affected by pile-up, and a significantly higher count rate would have been seen using a faster, smaller window observing mode.
