ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.1038316
Requested Signal/Noise Ratio = 40.000 at wavelength 3000.00 Å (per resolution element)
gives: Time = 1.9797 seconds
gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 36.97 seconds
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."
