ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.1038599

Exposure time (seconds) = 1,931.0000 at wavelength 2026.00 Å

gives: SNR = 97.8091 (per resolution element)

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: MAMA Bright limits: total count rate per image 83727.2 exceeds limit for irregularly-variable sources 40 percent of the bright limit 200000 counts per second

WARNING MESSAGE: Buffer time 23.8871 is less than minimum 99 seconds.
