The Swift spacecraft executed a prompt slew to GRB050331 (discovered by the 
Swift BAT).  The XRT found a bright source located at the following position:

RA(J2000) = 09:22:57,
Dec(J2000) = -41:26:18

We estimate an uncertainty of about 6 arcseconds.   This source is located 
1.5 arcminutes from the BAT position.
