Maccarone (Southampton) report:\n\nSwift performed an observation of the X-ray transient in NGC 2770 on \n2008 Jan\n11 02:45UT. No X-ray source was detected in the 1.1ks observation. However,\nthe optical transient was clearly detected in the U, V, and B bands of the\nUVOT. The source was marginally seen in the UVW1 image. The very rough B \nand V\nmagnitude is 18.8 and 18.4, respectively. The Swift observations \nindicate that\nthe optical transient becomes brighter in the past 24 hours. We note \nthat the\noptical transient was not seen in the UVOT observations taken on 2008 Jan 9\n(ATel #1353,1355).",
