Using the data set from T-61 to T+242 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 191004A (trigger #927825)
(Cenko, et al., GCN Circ. 25945Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 31.716, -36.932 deg, which is
   RA(J2000)  =  02h 06m 51.8s
   Dec(J2000) = -36d 55' 54.0"
with an uncertainty of 1.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 26%.

The mask-weighted light curve has two overlapping peaks starting at
~T-0.2 sec, peaking at ~T_zero, and ending at ~3.1 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 2.44 +- 0.08 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.09 to T+2.58 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.35 +- 0.08.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.09 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 7.8 +- 0.5 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
