    Hi Vitaliy,

    I looked at this and I don't think that the archive spectrum will be
    useful for us. The archive spectrum is with exp. time of ~1600 sec only.
    I think that the grism data we will have (some 28000 sec exp. time in
    total) will be much more useful. Moreover, the so called high-resolution
    mode gives ~24 A/px, which is not much higher than the low-res 40 A/px.
    In addition, according to the ETC, for the same exp. time, the high-res.
    mode will be twice less S/N than the low-res.

    Cheers,
    Vallery
