Using 1046 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT
image for Swift J1822.3-1606, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray position (using the
XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources to the USNO-B1
catalogue) of RA, Dec = 275.57500, -16.07412 which is
equivalent to:
RA (J2000): 18h 22m 18.00s
Dec (J2000): -16d 04' 26.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).
Further XRT observations are planned in Windowed Timing mode.
