T. M. Parsotan (GSFC/UMBC/CRESSTII) and T. Sakamoto (AGU) report on
behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team:
At 23:31:52 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered again
on the Galactic transient Swift J1727.8-1613 (AKA GRB 230824A) (trigger number
1187203); this is another BAT trigger on this event (see eg GCN Circ.

for after the source exits Moon constraint on August 27.
