N.P.M. Kuin (MSSL-UCL) and E. Sonbas (GSFC/USRA/Adiyaman Univ.)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110715A
100 s after the BAT trigger (Sonbas et al., GCN Circ. 12158).

The preliminary UVOT position is:
  RA  (J2000) =  15:50:44.09 = 237.68369 (deg.)
  Dec (J2000) = -46:14:06.53 = -46.23515 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.56 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).

Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT
photometric system
(Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for the early exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.59 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
