M. De Pasquale (MSSL/UCL), V. La Parola (INAF-IASFPA),
F. E. Marshall (GSFC) report:
The Swift UltraViolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) began its
first finding chart exposure of GRB080604 (La Parola
et al., GCN circ. 7800) 129 seconds after the trigger
in white filter and detected the optical afterglow (GCN
circ. 7800). The coordinates of this transient are:

  Dec:  15:47:51.68
  RA:  +20:33:28.0

  The afterglow is detected only in the white filter.
Magnitudes and 3 sigma upper limits are listed in the
table below.

  The values quoted above are on the UVOT Photometric System
(Poole et al, 2008, MNRAS 383,627). They are not corrected
for the expected Galactic reddening of E(B-V) = 0.049 in the
direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
