ETC Request ID: STIS.im.632527
Exposure time (seconds) = 5.0000
gives: SNR = 60.9268
gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 82.39 seconds
gives: Optimum SNR = 78.1633
Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.
WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.043) 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."
