GRB_TIME:        62319.01 SOD {17:18:39.01} UT
TRIGGER_INDEX:   20000
RATE_SIGNIF:     0.00 [sigma]
FLAGS:           0x1
MERIT:           0.00
SUN_POSTN:       312.11d {+20h 48m 26s}  -17.83d {-17d 49' 46"}
SUN_DIST:         82.26 [deg]   Sun_angle= 6.5 [hr] (West of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:      315.14d {+21h 00m 34s}  -21.31d {-21d 18' 37"}
MOON_DIST:        81.67 [deg]
MOON_ILLUM:      0 [%]
GAL_COORDS:      317.84, 13.68 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:      228.61,-30.94 [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: IGR14175-4641,   delta=0.048 [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 = 243.95,-17.15 [deg].
