TRIGGER_INDEX:   20000
RATE_SIGNIF:     0.00 [sigma]
IMAGE_SIGNIF:    6.53 [sigma]
FLAGS:           0x1
MERIT:           -9901.59
SUN_POSTN:       289.10d {+19h 16m 24s}  -22.28d {-22d 16' 33"}
SUN_DIST:         23.98 [deg]   Sun_angle= 0.2 [hr] (West of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:      201.12d {+13h 24m 28s}  -14.61d {-14d 36' 37"}
MOON_DIST:        84.98 [deg]
MOON_ILLUM:      44 [%]
GAL_COORDS:       35.37, -1.62 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:      286.91, 23.97 [deg] ecliptic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
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 J1901+014,   delta=0.053 [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:        This is an interesting source.  
COMMENTS:        Since the IMAGE_SIGNIF is less than 7 sigma, this is a questionable detection.  
COMMENTS:        This trigger occurred at longitude,latitude = 211.36,20.15 [deg].
