GRB 130812B (Hurley et al., GCN 15094Not found
 
 
; Golenetskii et al., GCN 15095Not found
 
 
) 
was also observed by Odyssey. Using Odyssey data reduces the size of the 
previous error box by about a factor of eight:
  ---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:
     7.405 (00h 29m 37s) -79.178 (-79d 10' 39")
  Corners:
     8.180 (00h 32m 43s) -78.635 (-78d 38' 07")

     6.536 (00h 26m 09s) -79.717 (-79d 43' 02")
     7.206 (00h 28m 49s) -78.996 (-78d 59' 47")
  ---------------------------------------------
The area of this box is  349 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 1.1 deg (the minimum one is 8 arcmin).

Some improvement in this error box is possible.
