ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.1369103

Exposure time (seconds) = 600.0000 at wavelength 1900.00 Å

gives: SNR = 59.7001 (per resolution element)

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: MAMA Bright limits: total count rate per image 166692 exceeds limit for irregularly-variable sources 40 percent of the bright limit 200000 counts per second

WARNING MESSAGE: Buffer time 11.9982 is less than minimum 99 seconds.
