ETC Request ID: STIS.im.745450

Requested Signal/Noise Ratio = 100.000

gives: Time = 1.3582 seconds

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 51.84 seconds

gives: Optimum SNR = 123.3305

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.026) 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."
