SUN_DIST:        100.72 [deg]   Sun_angle= 6.5 [hr] (West of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:      145.84d {+09h 43m 22s}  +17.49d {+17d 29' 24"}

MOON_ILLUM:      78 [%]
GAL_COORDS:        1.42,-11.43 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:      277.59, -9.92 [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: X 1832-330,   delta=0.137 [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 = 218.72,-10.69 [deg].
