RXTE PCA monitoring scans of the galactic bulge region on 2008-03-15 at 04:23 UTC detected a brightening of the neutron star transient SAX J1750.8-2900. The last bright outburst of this source was in 2001, although it has produced low-level emission during portions the interim between then and now. The X-ray flux is approximately 230 mCrab (2-10 keV), which is similar to the peak flux during its previous bright outburst.
