ETC Request ID: STIS.im.1012644

Exposure time (seconds) = 0.1000

gives: SNR = 958.9753

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 0.05 seconds

gives: Optimum SNR = 1,073.4033

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: CCD Full Well limits: total counts per native pixel 258484 exceeds bright limit 120000 for selected gain

WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.01) is less than the recommended threshold of 20 electrons to avoid poor charge transfer efficiency (CTE). We suggest you consider CTE mitigation strategies described in the STIS Instrument Handbook."
