Leicester) \nreport on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.\n\nUsing 391 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT\nimages for GRB 241006A, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray\nposition (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources\nto the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 304.74263, -40.80500 which is equivalent\nto:\n\nRA (J2000): 20h 18m 58.23s\nDec (J2000): -40d 48' 18.0\"\n\nwith an uncertainty of 2.2 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).\n\nThis position may be improved as more data are received. The latest\nposition can be viewed at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position\nenhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans\net al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).\n\nThis circular was automatically generated, and is an official product of the\nSwift-XRT team.\n"
