image paragraph message for exposure 2 of trigger 1429020



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

In response to GRB251230 (Swift/BAT trigger 1429020) at 01:21:41 UT,

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

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 250 seconds with the U filter starting
288 seconds after the BAT trigger. There is a candidate afterglow in the
rapidly available 2.7'x2.7' sub-image at
RA(J2000) = 11:59:35.37 = 179.89739
DEC(J2000) = +11:26:18.5 = 11.43848
with a 90%-confidence error radius of about 0.74 arc sec. This position is 0.6
arc sec. from the center of the XRT error circle. The estimated magnitude is
13.71 with a 1-sigma error of about 0.14. No correction has been made for the
expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.024.

UVOT exposure began at MET 788750826.40922 or about 2025:365:01:27:01 UT

Found 140 stars in largest star catalog for srclist region. The stars will
eliminate afterglows from about 3% of the srclist region. Found 16 sources in
srclist catalog. Found 3 srclist source(s) without IDs. There are 1 good
candidate(s) in the srclist catalog. Good candidates must be brighter than
18.12 mag.

Found 4 source(s) in Genie image catalog. 1 source(s) are within 10.0" of the
xrt position. Found 2 Genie image source(s) without IDs. There are 1 good
candidate(s) in the Genie image catalog. Good candidates must be brighter than
20.40 mag. Found 23 stars in largest star catalog for Genie image region. The
stars will eliminate afterglows from about 2% of the Genie image region.
