RATE_SIGNIF:     0.00 [sigma]
FLAGS:           0x1
MERIT:           0.00
SUN_POSTN:       227.15d {+15h 08m 36s}  -17.63d {-17d 37' 58"}

MOON_POSTN:      357.58d {+23h 50m 19s}   -2.59d {-02d 35' 07"}
MOON_DIST:        73.64 [deg]
MOON_ILLUM:      80 [%]
GAL_COORDS:       31.00, -2.02 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the pointing direction
ECL_COORDS:      284.67, 20.10 [deg] ecliptic lon,lat of the pointing direction
COMMENTS:        SWIFT Figure-of-Merit decision.  
COMMENTS:        This was of sufficient merit to become the new Automated Target;  
COMMENTS:        but if the Current PPT has a greater merit, then we will not request a slew.  
COMMENTS:        This matches a source in the ground catalog: XTE_J1855-026,   delta=0.105 [deg].  
COMMENTS:           
COMMENTS:        The next comments were copied from the BAT_POS Notice:  
COMMENTS:        This is an image trigger.  (The RATE_SIGNIF is undefined.)  
COMMENTS:        A point_source was found.  
COMMENTS:        This matches a source in the on-board catalog.  
COMMENTS:        This is not a GRB.  
COMMENTS:        Since the IMAGE_SIGNIF is less than 7 sigma, this is a questionable detection.  
COMMENTS:        This is an interesting source.
