ETC Request ID: STIS.ta.1383616

Exposure time (seconds) = 60.0000

gives: SNR = 90.8912

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 2,298.54 seconds

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.
