H. Siegel (PSU) and K. L. Page (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210822A 85 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 30677). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Page et al. GCN Circ. 30677) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag white_FC 85 235 147 >18.9 u_FC 297 547 246 >20.0 white 85 5058 445 >19.8 v 626 1249 78 >19.3 b 553 4960 255 >20.0 u 297 4754 481 >20.2 w1 675 1298 78 >19.6 m2 824 1274 39 >19.4 w2 602 1225 78 >19.6 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.162 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 210822A: Swift/UVOT Detection M.

Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210822A 85 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 30677).
