ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.1184897

Exposure time (seconds) = 422.0000 at wavelength 2320.00 Å

gives: SNR = 66.8113 (per resolution element)

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: MAMA Bright limits: total count rate per image 94862.1 exceeds limit for irregularly-variable sources 40 percent of the bright limit 200000 counts per second

WARNING MESSAGE: Buffer time 21.0832 is less than minimum 99 seconds.
