D. Malesani (DARK/NBI) reports:
The coordinates of the afterglow reported in GCN 9338 (Olofsson et al.)
are wrong. The correct ones (referenced to USNO-B1 stars, 0.3" error) are:
RA(J2000) = 22:14:12.56
Dec(J2000) = -26:34:59.0
These coordinates are 0.7" away from the UVOT position (Marshall &
Hoversten, GCN 9332) and indeed consistent within their quoted error.
The object identified in the finding chart posted at
http://www.astro.ku.dk/~malesani/GRB/090510/090510_finder.png
is correctly the afterglow.
I thank Frank Marshall for pointing out the mistake, and regret for any
confusion that this may have created. No blame should go to the other
co-authors of GCN 9338.
