ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.1044073
Exposure time (seconds) = 218.1000 at wavelength 6500.00 Å
gives: SNR = 5,551.8457 (per resolution element)
gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 3.65 seconds
Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.
WARNING MESSAGE: CCD Full Well limits: total counts per native pixel 7.1785e+06 exceeds bright limit 120000 for selected gain
WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (4.2) 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."
