ETC Request ID: STIS.im.712301

Exposure time (seconds) = 30.0000

gives: SNR = 516.7768

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 37.63 seconds

gives: Optimum SNR = 580.3309

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: Total counts per binned pixel 95665.5 is within 70 percent of the CCD fullwell limit 120000

WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.57) 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."
