GRB_TIME:        18424.00 SOD {05:07:04.00} UT
TRIGGER_INDEX:   20000
RATE_SIGNIF:     0.00 [sigma]
FLAGS:           0x1
MERIT:           -100.00

MOON_DIST:        24.90 [deg]
MOON_ILLUM:      37 [%]
GAL_COORDS:      359.14, -0.20 [deg] galactic lon,lat of the pointing direction
ECL_COORDS:      266.58, -6.38 [deg] ecliptic lon,lat of the pointing direction
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: 1E_1740.7-2942,   delta=0.093 [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 is an interesting source.
