Exposure time (seconds) = 475.0000 at wavelength 2800.00 Å

gives: SNR = 42.2754 (per resolution element)

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: MAMA Bright limits: total count rate per image 95999.9 exceeds limit for irregularly-variable sources 40 percent of the bright limit 200000 counts per second

WARNING MESSAGE: Buffer time 20.8333 is less than minimum 99 seconds.
