                               DAILY REPORT #801

PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST 01/11/93 - 0800 EST 01/12/93

Daily Status Report as of 012/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FGS-PC 4765 (Overlapping Plate Field Distortion)
  
       Sixteen joint observations were made using both FGS #3 and the
       Planetary Camera as part of the Optical Field Angle Distortion
       (OFAD) test. The OSS monitored the  astrometry and no problems were
       seen. The first eight images were received, displayed, and reported
       to look okay. The next three images were blank, and the last four
       images contained at least one star each. 

   1.2 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

       Uplinked at 011/0511Z.

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

       The High Speed Photometer was used to obtain both photometric and
       polarimetric observations of the x-ray binary star HD77581 (aka,
       Vela XR-1) which has a visual magnitude of 6.9 . A total of sixteen
       observations were received and displayed in the OSS. The onboard
       target acquisition images were okay. The time series data looked
       okay, except for the sixth observation, which showed jitter
       consistent with a day/night transition. 

   1.4 Completed Four Sets of WFC 4713 (Internal Delta Flats)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to obtain two internal flat
       observations using different filters. Both observations were
       received and displayed. They both were reported to look okay. 

   1.5 Completed FOS/BL 3573 (The reflected Light Model for Seyfert)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to obtain two observations of
       Seyfert (Type-2) galaxy MARK 1066. Both observations were were
       received and displayed in the OSS. The first observation was a
       binary search, which found the target in the eight group. The
       following spectral observation also looked good. 

   1.6 Completed FOS/BL 4110 (The Physics of Massive O-Stars)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make two observations of
       the OB Class star SK65D21 which is located in the Large Magellanic
       Cloud. The peakup observations were successful. The following
       spectral observations were reported to look good. 

   1.7 Completed WFC 4105 (HST Medium Deep Survey: High Latitude)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to take one image for a medium deep
       sky survey and was taken in parallel with the prime science
       observation. The observations was received, displayed, and reported
       to be okay. 

   1.8 Completed FGS 4031 (Search for Planetary Companions to Low Mass)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of the star
       Proxima Centauri to look for the presence of a Jupiter sized planet
       about the target star. The astrometric observations were monitored,
       and no problems were seen in the telemetry. There was a ten minute
       LOS near the middle of the observation, so the astrometry could not
       be monitored during that time. 

   1.9 Completed PC 3848 (Separate Light curves of Pluto and Charon)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make observations of both Pluto and
       its moon Charon (Each individually). A nearby comparison star, which
       was about 25 arcseconds from both objects, was also included in the
       fields of view. Both observations were monitored in the OSS, and no
       problems were reported. 

   1.10 Completed PC 4714 (Internal Delta Flats)

       The Planetary Camera was used to obtain internal delta flat
       observations which will be used for the restoration of Earth flats,
       which were altered due to changes in the quantum efficiency which
       occurred after WFPC decontamination operations. The observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.11 Completed FOS/RD 3840 (Abundance and Time Evolution of Carbon)

       The Faint object Spectrograph was used to obtain ultraviolet spectra
       of the extra-galactic H-II region by viewing object SBS0335-05. This
       is to measure the abundance ratios of C/O and N/O. The OSS conducted
       routine monitoring, and no problems were reported. 

   1.12 Initiated WFC 3917 (HST Medium Deep Survey, Part 1)

       Observations were initiated using the Wide Field Camera to take
       images for a high latitude medium-deep sky survey. These
       observations are being taken in parallel with the prime science
       observations. The observations are currently under way, and no
       problems have been reported.
