ETC Request ID: STIS.im.825277
Exposure time (seconds) = 0.1000
gives: SNR = 461.1635
gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 0.24 seconds
gives: Optimum SNR = 519.6309
Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.
WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.0046) 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."
