ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.820983

Exposure time (seconds) = 63.0000 at wavelength 4451.00 Å

gives: SNR = 1,017.6677 (per resolution element)

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 31.64 seconds

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: CCD Full Well limits: total counts per native pixel 238921 exceeds bright limit 120000 for selected gain

WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (1.2) 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."
