TRIGGER_INDEX:   379
RATE_SIGNIF:     10.44 [sigma]
FLAGS:           0x3
MERIT:           100.00

MOON_POSTN:      141.19d {+09h 24m 45s}  +19.16d {+19d 09' 42"}
MOON_DIST:        60.72 [deg]
MOON_ILLUM:      97 [%]
GAL_COORDS:      209.49,-18.63 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:       83.98,-28.78 [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:        FOM will request the s/c to slew.  
COMMENTS:        The S/C has yet to make its decision about safe to slew or not.  
COMMENTS:        This does not match any source in the ground catalog.  
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 does not match any source in the on-board catalog.  
COMMENTS:        This is a GRB.  
COMMENTS:        Since the IMAGE_SIGNIF is less than 7 sigma, this is a questionable detection.  
COMMENTS:        This trigger occurred at longitude,latitude = 194.53,-15.83 [deg].
