TRIGGER_INDEX:   10209
RATE_SIGNIF:     14.14 [sigma]

SUN_POSTN:        43.50d {+02h 53m 59s}  +16.62d {+16d 36' 54"}
SUN_DIST:        123.01 [deg]   Sun_angle= 8.2 [hr] (West of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:      321.97d {+21h 27m 52s}  -11.73d {-11d 43' 58"}
MOON_DIST:        41.58 [deg]
MOON_ILLUM:      46 [%]
GAL_COORDS:       27.40,  0.00 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:      280.84, 18.13 [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: Kes 73,   delta=0.017 [deg].  
COMMENTS:           
COMMENTS:        The next comments were copied from the BAT_POS Notice:  
COMMENTS:        This is a rate trigger.  
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 trigger occurred at longitude,latitude = 125.46,19.52 [deg].
