ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.919784

Requested Signal/Noise Ratio = 95.000 at wavelength 2260.00 Å (per resolution element)

gives: Time = 2,028.0336 seconds

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: MAMA Bright limits: total count rate per image 110029 exceeds limit for irregularly-variable sources 40 percent of the bright limit 200000 counts per second

WARNING MESSAGE: Buffer time 18.177 is less than minimum 99 seconds.
