ETC Request ID: ACS.sp.1005849

Requested Signal/Noise Ratio = 10.000 at wavelength 6500.00 Å (per resolution element)

gives: Time = 0.2678 seconds

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 228.81 seconds

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: Result of the calculation 0.06696 seconds is less than the minimum exposure time for this detector (0.5 seconds)

WARNING MESSAGE: Electrons per pixel due to background (0.011) is less than the recommended threshold of 20 electrons to avoid poor charge transfer efficiency (CTE). In rare cases, post-flash may be recommended. Please see http://www.stsci.edu/hst/acs/performance/cte/cte_postflash.html.
