W. Li, University of California, Berkeley (UCB); S. D. Van Dyk, Spitzer Science Center, California Institute of Technology; A. V. Filippenko and R. J. Foley, UCB; G. Pignata, M. Hamuy, and J. Moza, Universidad de Chile; and D. Reichart, K. Ivarsen, A. Crain, D. Foster, M. Nysewander, and A. LaCluyze, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, report that they have analyzed the discovery images of SN 2008bk that were taken by Monard (cf. CBET 1315) and also images taken with the 0.41-m "PROMPT 2" telescope at Cerro Tololo on Mar. 28.41 UT. Using half a dozen stars for an astrometric solution, they derive the following precise position for 2008bk: R.A. = 23h57m50s.42, Decl. = -32d33'21".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 9".2 east and 126".4 north of the nucleus of NGC 7793.
