Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 180410A (trigger #824063)
(Gropp et al., GCN Circ. 22620

 ).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 95.974, 12.804 deg which is
  RA(J2000)  =  06h 23m 53.7s
  Dec(J2000) = +12d 48' 15.2"
with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 53%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a weak-long pulse that starts and peak
at ~ T+25 s, and ends at ~T+150 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 100.7 +- 13.8 sec
(estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T+25.16 to T+153.67 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.46 +- 0.13.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.2 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+25.70 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.7 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.

The spectral and temporal behaviors are consistent with those of a GRB. However,
due to the proximity to the Galactic plane (0.17 degrees), we cannot rule out the
possibility that this is a Galactic transient.
