Abstract
A new transient X-ray source was discovered with the IBIS/ISGRI and JEM-X detectors on board INTEGRAL on Dec. 2, 2004, during 3 successive pointings dedicated to the Galactic Plane Scan. The source was located with both ISGRI and JEM-X at R.A.= 00h 29.1', Dec.= +59d 34m, (equinox 2000.0) with an error radius of 1.5'.
