TRIGGER_INDEX:   20000
RATE_SIGNIF:     0.00 [sigma]
IMAGE_SIGNIF:    5.66 [sigma]
FLAGS:           0x1
MERIT:           0.00

SUN_DIST:         97.00 [deg]   Sun_angle= 6.5 [hr] (West of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:      306.92d {+20h 27m 40s}  -23.79d {-23d 47' 18"}
MOON_DIST:        36.12 [deg]
MOON_ILLUM:      26 [%]
GAL_COORDS:        0.14, -0.25 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:      267.12, -5.54 [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: SAX1747.0-2853,   delta=0.073 [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 = 151.74,-12.38 [deg].
