GRB_TIME:        74362.89 SOD {20:39:22.89} UT
TRIGGER_INDEX:   160
RATE_SIGNIF:     13.63 [sigma]
IMAGE_SIGNIF:    6.69 [sigma]
FLAGS:           0x1
MERIT:           -9900.00
SUN_POSTN:        21.62d {+01h 26m 30s}   +9.08d {+09d 04' 33"}
SUN_DIST:         41.23 [deg]   Sun_angle= -2.5 [hr] (East of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:       97.63d {+06h 30m 32s}  +18.18d {+18d 10' 33"}
MOON_DIST:        46.29 [deg]
MOON_ILLUM:      36 [%]
GAL_COORDS:      198.49,-42.59 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:       54.68,-28.06 [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 does not match any source in the ground catalog.  
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 does not match any source in the on-board catalog.  
COMMENTS:        This is a GRB.  
COMMENTS:        This trigger occurred during a high background rate interval.  
COMMENTS:        Since the IMAGE_SIGNIF is less than 7 sigma, this is a questionable detection.  
COMMENTS:        This trigger occurred at longitude,latitude = 308.72,-6.90 [deg].
