COMMENTS:        SWIFT SC Slew decision.  
COMMENTS:        SC will immediately slew to this target.  
COMMENTS:        This matches a source in the ground catalog: NGC3949,   delta=0.098 [deg].  
COMMENTS:        Galaxy NGC3949 (of total mag=11.00 and dia=3.00 arcmin) is inside the position error circle.  
COMMENTS:        There is a 0.09% probability that an NGC galaxy would happen by chance coincidence.  
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:           
COMMENTS:        The IMAGE_SIGNIF is VERY LOW, this is very likely not real.  
COMMENTS:        This trigger occurred at longitude,latitude = 36.04,18.20 [deg].
