The RXTE All-Sky Monitor has detected X-ray emission from a new source. Shortly after detection Uemura reported that there was a new optical object within 1 arc minute of the XTE position and brighter than 15th magnitude. This image of the optical counterpart was obtained on on 2000 March 30 by Denis Buczynski and it shows the object at around magnitude 13. He obtained a lightcurve at the same time. The position of this object as measured by Yamaoka is R.A. = 11 18 10.79, Decl. = +48 02 11.2 (2000.0) and it is currently well placed in Ursa Major.
