ETC Request ID: STIS.im.1184782

Exposure time (seconds) = 110.0000

gives: SNR = 341.1528

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 303.58 seconds

gives: Optimum SNR = 388.7092

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (1.4) 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."
