On September 26, 2011, 20:11:28 UT, BAT detected high flux from a location consistent SAX J1712.6-3739, an LMXB. Swift slewed immediately to the source. The BAT on-board calculated location is
(RA, Dec) = (258.161, -37.649) = (17h 12m 39s, -37d 38' 56") (J2000)
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty).
Based on downlinked BAT data from T-120s to T+300s, the emission started at T-75s, rising smoothly to a peak at T+100s, and declining to near zero at T+200s.
