ETC Request ID: STIS.im.825274
Exposure time (seconds) = 0.4000
gives: SNR = 441.6503
gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 1.04 seconds
gives: Optimum SNR = 497.8955
Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.
WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.018) 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."
