"During an observation with Wide Field Camera unit 1 on BeppoSAX on Feb.
8.8-11.5 UT, a new x-ray transient was detected at R.A. = 17h11m36s, Decl. =
-38o08'.5 (equinox 2000.0; 99-percent confidence error radius 1.2'). The
flux varied between 30 and 80 mCrab (2-9 keV) in hourly integrations. No
x-ray bursts were detected. We designate the source SAX J1711.6-3808.
