[AAVSO-HEN] GRB 080710

[M. Templeton]

Hello all,

Swift has reported the detection of a burst at around 07h UT this morning,
and an afterglow has been detected at R=16.8.  The afterglow appeared
to be brightening in H band as late as two hours post burst, so there's
a possibility it may still be detectable.  J2000 coordinates are

RA  =  00:33:05.67   = 8.27363
Dec = +19:30:04.69 = 19.50130

Those of you still in or heading into darkness might still be able to catch
it, so observations are encouraged.

Clear skies,

Matthew
