TRIGGER_INDEX:   20000
RATE_SIGNIF:     0.00 [sigma]
IMAGE_SIGNIF:    6.51 [sigma]
FLAGS:           0x3
MERIT:           100.00
SUN_POSTN:        19.18d {+01h 16m 44s}   +8.11d {+08d 06' 24"}
SUN_DIST:        163.49 [deg]   Sun_angle= -11.2 [hr] (East of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:      148.21d {+09h 52m 49s}   +7.94d {+07d 56' 40"}
MOON_DIST:        39.16 [deg]

GAL_COORDS:      288.91, 65.73 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:      185.17,  6.03 [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 matches a source in the ground catalog: NGC4457,   delta=0.149 [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:        Since the IMAGE_SIGNIF is less than 7 sigma, this is a questionable detection.  
COMMENTS:        This trigger occurred at longitude,latitude = 15.04,11.68 [deg].
