ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.1298760

Exposure time (seconds) = 505.0000 at wavelength 2497.00 Å

gives: SNR = 54.7822 (per resolution element)

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: Buffer time 15.502 is less than minimum 99 seconds.

WARNING MESSAGE: MAMA Bright limits: total count rate per image 129016 exceeds limit for irregularly-variable sources 40 percent of the bright limit 200000 counts per second
