Following the MAXI/GSC detection of a recent flux increase and two X-ray bursts from the position of the globular cluster M15 (Atel #3356), a Swift XRT observation was conducted May 18 at 03:44 UT for 1.0 ks. The XRT data are heavily piled up, and affected by a bad column. We find the position by fitting a circle to the pileup ring, estimating a center at RA, Dec (J2000)=21:29:57.9, +12:10:06 with a 90% conf.
