  trigger No 931242, XRT R.A.Dec(2000)=00h 40m 27.53s -67d 08' 42.2")
errorbox  37 sec after trigger time at 2019-10-24 04:43:29 UT,
with upper limit up to  14.4 on 10s images (18.2 mag on 1800s sum)
There is no OT on first images.

The observations began at zenith distance = 38 deg. The sun  altitude  was -47.1 deg.

The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.

Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
