ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.1305203
Exposure time (seconds) = 60.0000 at wavelength 3200.00 Å
gives: SNR = 72.8245 (per resolution element)
gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 49.89 seconds
Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.
WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.77) 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."
