FLAGS:           0x1

SUN_DIST:        155.98 [deg]   Sun_angle= 10.3 [hr] (West of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:       49.31d {+03h 17m 15s}  +22.30d {+22d 17' 57"}

MOON_ILLUM:      1 [%]
GAL_COORDS:        3.13, -0.30 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:      268.66, -2.97 [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: IGR17544-2619,   delta=0.117 [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 = 228.21,-20.11 [deg].
