Following report of a new transient by MAXI (ATel #10869), we observed the MAXI error region with a set of 7-tile Swift/XRT observations in PC mode. We detect a new bright source with enhanced coordinates RA=245.09171, Dec=-50.01989 (J2000), which translate to: RA: 16:20:22.01 Dec: -50:01:11.6 With radial uncertainty of 3.4''
