COMMENTS:        FOM will NOT request the s/c to slew.  
COMMENTS:        This matches a source in the ground catalog: Algol,   delta=0.004 [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 that was purposefully removed from the on-board catalog.  
COMMENTS:        This is not a GRB.  
COMMENTS:        This trigger occurred at longitude,latitude = 61.19,17.62 [deg].
