TRIGGER_INDEX:   20000
RATE_SIGNIF:     0.00 [sigma]
IMAGE_SIGNIF:    6.68 [sigma]
FLAGS:           0x1

SUN_DIST:         59.20 [deg]   Sun_angle= 4.2 [hr] (West of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:      125.94d {+08h 23m 45s}  +18.12d {+18d 07' 27"}

GAL_COORDS:      336.94,  0.25 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:      254.12,-25.11 [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: 4U 1630-47,   delta=0.016 [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 = 149.35,14.41 [deg].
