IMAGE_SIGNIF: 5.78 [sigma]
FLAGS: 0x1
MERIT: 0.00
SUN_POSTN: 57.37d {+03h 49m 28s} +20.06d {+20d 03' 24"}
SUN_DIST: 152.04 [deg] Sun_angle= 11.0 [hr] (West of Sun)

MOON_DIST: 77.60 [deg]
MOON_ILLUM: 46 [%]
GAL_COORDS: 340.14, -0.11 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS: 256.36,-22.62 [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: IGR16479-4514, delta=0.029 [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 = 98.60,-18.88 [deg].
