At 15:14 UT on Oct 20th, 2010 Swift began a 1ks target of opportunity observation of MAXI J1409-619 (Yamaoka et al, 2010, ATEL #2959). Utilizing photon counting mode data we find a uncatalogued bright X-ray source inside the MAXI error circle at the following UVOT enhanced location, RA, Dec(J2000) = 212.01068, -61.98340, which is equivalent to : RA(J2000) = 14h 08m 02.56s, Dec(J2000) = -61d 59m 00.3s, with an estimated uncertainty of 1.9 arcseconds radius (90% confidence).
