ETC Request ID: STIS.im.757956
Exposure time (seconds) = 5.0000
gives: SNR = 50.2640
gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 509.39 seconds
gives: Optimum SNR = 71.9120
Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.
WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.095) 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."
