At 10:46UT on May 22nd, 2006, Swift/XRT began a Target of Opportunity observation of the newly discovered super-fast X-ray Transient (SF-XRT) IGR J08408-4503 (e.g. ATEL #814). In 2ks of XRT photon counting mode data we find a faint point source inside the INTEGRAL JEM-X error circle reported by Brandt et al. (ATEL #817) at the following coordinates: RA(J2000) = 08:40:47.97, Dec(J2000) = -45:03:29.8, with an estimated uncertainty of 5.4 arcseconds radius (90% containment).
