ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.1167426

Requested Signal/Noise Ratio = 100.000 at wavelength 4451.00 Å (per resolution element)

gives: Time = 859.9347 seconds

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 11,777.38 seconds

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (11) 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."
