ETC Request ID: STIS.im.1013929

Exposure time (seconds) = 0.1000

gives: SNR = 1,396.9187

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 0.02 seconds

gives: Optimum SNR = 1,562.6895

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: CCD Full Well limits: total counts per native pixel 536484 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."
