TRIGGER_INDEX:   20000
RATE_SIGNIF:     0.00 [sigma]

SUN_DIST:        111.86 [deg]   Sun_angle= -7.0 [hr] (East of Sun)
MOON_POSTN:       30.72d {+02h 02m 52s}  +16.02d {+16d 01' 17"}

GAL_COORDS:       90.59, -6.82 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the burst (or transient)
ECL_COORDS:      350.44, 52.95 [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 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 = 337.57,20.32 [deg].
