M. H. Siegel (PSU) and P. A. Evans (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 240912A
115 s after the BAT trigger (Evans et al., GCN Circ. 37466).
A fading source consistent with the XRT position (Goad et al.,
GCN Circ. 37470) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The preliminary UVOT position is:
   RA  (J2000) =  08:18:32.40 = 124.63499 (deg.)
   Dec (J2000) = +33:59:56.3  =  33.99897 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.43 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).

Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.054 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
