Tohuvavohu (U Toronto) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift\nObservatory Team:\n\nAt 18:08:39 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated GRB 220806A (trigger=1119268).  Swift could not slew to the\nburst location due to a Moon constraint. \nThe BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 260.873, -26.023 which is \n   RA(J2000) = 17h 23m 30s\n   Dec(J2000) = -26d 01' 22\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a single peak\nstructure with a duration of about 5 sec.  The peak count rate\nwas ~1700 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. \n\nDue to a Moon observing constraint, Swift cannot slew to the BAT\nposition until 18:30 UT on 2022 August 09. There will thus be no XRT or\nUVOT data for this trigger before this time. \n\nBurst Advocate for this burst is K. L. Page (kimlpage1978 AT gmail.com). \nPlease contact the BA by email if you require additional information\nregarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after\ntrying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see\nSwift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/)",
