Leicester) \nreport on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.\n\nUsing 307 s of overlapping XRT Photon Counting mode and UVOT\ndata for GRB 080503, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray\nposition (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources\nto the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 286.61961, +68.79330 which is equivalent\nto:\n\nRA (J2000): 19h 06m 28.71s\nDec (J2000): +68d 47' 35.9\"\n\nwith an uncertainty of 1.8 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).\n\nThis position may be improved as more data are received. The latest position\ncan be viewed at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position enhancement is\ndescribed by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401\nhttp://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions/Goad.pdf), the current algorithm is an\nextension of this method.\n\nThis circular was automatically generated, and is an official product of the\nSwift-XRT team.",
