Ulysses, Mars Odyssey (HEND and GRS), HETE-FREGATE, and Konus-Wind
observed this GRB (GCN 1648).  We have confirmed the error box given in
GCN 1648 and reduced it to an ~ 20. sq. arcmin. error box fully
contained within the original one.  Its coordinates are:

    RA(2000)                              DEC(2000)
 ERROR BOX CENTER:  21 h 29 m 10.92 s     51 o 55 '   0.43 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 21 h 28 m 45.12 s     51 o 52 '   6.48 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 21 h 28 m 14.32 s     51 o 51 '   6.05 "
