There are 79642.570 counts in the bkg source region of 5891.0000 pixels.
Rate in bkg region from 0 to 45 arcsec is 13.519 counts/pixel (5-sig UL in 4" is 19.60 mag) for 1215859_g890
Do not compute counts in XRT region because position is too far from center.
There are no candidates inside BAT error circle, but outside XRT error circle.

Good candidates have no ID, acceptable profiles,
mag between 9.01 and 20.16, XRT distances < 11.75",
are > ~(80 - 10*(mag-6))" from any bright star, and have had duplicates removed.

SUMMARY: 0 good candidate(s) found.
Results are questionable because aspect solution FAILED.

image paragraph message for exposure 3 of trigger 1215859


THIS MESSAGE IS *NOT* READY FOR DISTRIBUTION.
MORE ANALYSIS IS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS AN AFTERGLOW CANDIDATE.
IMAGE PROBLEM: no aspect solution
SRCLIST PROBLEM: no srclist afterglow info

------ Start for Possible Stand-alone Circular ----

In response to GRB240217 (Swift/BAT trigger 1215859) at 18:20:07 UT,

---- UVOT paragraph for Joint or Stand-alone Circular ----

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 110 seconds with the White filter
starting 858 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has
been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image processing
FAILED because of no aspect solution. Results from the list of sources
generated on-board are not available at this time. No correction has been made
for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.332.
