                               DAILY REPORT #797

PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST 01/05/93 - 0800 EST 01/06/93

Daily Status Report as of 006/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WFC 3605 (Stellar Winds and Post Main Sequence Evolution)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make images of star -69D249C
       (Classification - Ofpe/WNL) which is located in the Large Magellanic
       Cloud and has a visual magnitude of 12.5. This star is known to have
       a mass loss rate much higher than that of other normal O class
       stars. The observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems
       were reported. 

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WFC-PC 3172 (Internal Monitor Proposal)

       A total of four routine monitoring bias and internal flat images
       were taken using both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary
       Camera. All of the images were received and displayed. One image was
       reported to be okay, two were reported to be slightly saturated in
       the corners, and one was underexposed. 

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of HSP/UV1 1091 (Ultraviolet Pulsations from X-Ray 
       Pulsars)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make single color ultraviolet
       photometry observations of pulsating x-ray binary star A0535+26
       which has a optical counterpart. A total of three observations were
       received and displayed. The first two observations were the target
       acquisition images, and the target was well centered in the second
       image. The third observation was the actual photometry observation,
       and it looked okay. There was a loss of fine lock near the end of
       the observation, and some spikes could be seen in the data which
       were probably due to this fact. 

   1.4 Completed PC 4084 (Globular Cluster Cores, GTO Augmentation)

       The Planetary Camera was used to obtain eight U-Band images of the
       core of globular cluster NGC-5272-OF. All eight images were received
       and displayed. They were all reported to look okay. 

   1.5 Completed FGS 4200 (Test of Galactic Escape Velocity at R(sun))

       The Fine Guidance Sensor was used in the Trans Mode to make
       measurements on star G16-25N looking for duplicity. The principal
       investigator was present to watch the observations execute. Fine
       lock was attained, and held. The transfer scans executed without any
       STOP flags appearing. Thing appeared to go well. 

   1.6 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per 2871

       Uplinked at 005/0230Z. 

   1.7 Completed HSP/UV2/POL 3234 (X-Ray Binaries)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make both photometric and
       polarmetric light curves of the x-ray binary star HD77581 (aka, Vela
       XR-1). A total of ten observations were obtained. All of the
       observations were received in fine lock. The new recentering
       algorithm was activated during during a night/day transition, and
       had no affect on the science observations. All observations were
       reported to be okay.
