The All-Sky Monitor on RXTE has detected an unusually soft rapid X-ray transient that we designate XTE J1200+521. It was detected in nine consecutive observations, allowing the position to be constrained to a ~30' error box at 90% confidence (including an estimate of systematic error) with the following corners: RA: Decl: (J2000.0) 12h 00m 10s 5d 6'.0 12h 00m 36s 5d 21'.0 12h 00m 10s 5d 36'.0 11h 59m 36s 5d 21'.0 The X-ray transient was first detected on 2003 Mar 18 at 12:08:12 (UTC) at about 300+-40 mCrab in the A band (1.5-3 keV), and 250+-20 mCrab in the sum band (1.5-12 keV).
