ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.1167787

Exposure time (seconds) = 2,378.0000 at wavelength 2246.00 Å

gives: SNR = 27.2435 (per resolution element)

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: Partial overlap between instrument throughput band and target spectrum. Please doublecheck the wavelength range covered by the selected spectrum, and the instrument documentation for the selected filter.
