At 21:02:52 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 080822B (trigger=321376).
Swift did not slew to this burst because of the Moon observing constraint.  It will come out of Moon constraint early 26 Aug 08 UT.
The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 63.495, +25.743, which is
   RA(J2000)  =  04h 13m 59s
   Dec(J2000) = +25d 44' 34"

with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty).
