Pay attention to these warnings! If you do not see 'All good' written in each box, reconsider your run.

	Value
Group Number Too Low?	All good. Ngroups=1 is a new mode since Cycle 4 and has not been rigorously tested. Proceed with caution.
Group Number Too High?	All good
Non linear?	All good
Saturated?	All good
% full well high?	All good (76% < 80%)
Num Groups Reset?	All good
Minimum Integrations?	All good
Exposure Duration?	APT will warn that the exposure duration exceeds 10,000 seconds. NIRSpec BOTS permits longer exposures, but a high-gain antenna repoint may cause an approximately 60-second flux excursion.
