                            HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
                               DAILY REPORT #819

PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST 02/08/93 - 0800 EST 02/09/93

Daily Status Report as of 040/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOC/96 3487 (Cooling Flows in Distant Clusters)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make eight observations
       of the ongoing star formation region of cluster NGC-5920. All eight
       observations were received and displayed. The target was visible in
       all but last two observations, and the images became weaker as the
       filters went to shorter wavelenghts. 

   1.2 Completed GHRS/2 3614 (Boron as Probe of Stellar Structure and Mass 
       Loss)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make spectral
       observations of star HD62509 to study its boron abundance which is
       used to study the processes in the interior of the star. Four
       spectral observations were received and displayed. The wave length
       calibrations and the spectrum of the target looked good. 

   1.3 Completed PC 3603 (Snapshot of Protoplanetary Nebulae)

       The Planetary Camera was used to take a two images of the
       protoplanetary system PK 350+04D1. This is a planetary nebula in the
       process of forming. Both image were taken in course track. The
       images were taken during LOS and the observations remain on the
       science tape recorder. They will be analyzed later. 

   1.4 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per 2871

   1.5 Completed FOC/96 3801 (Search for QSOs Suitable for Subsequent 
       Observations)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make observations of
       quasi-stellar object 1346+001 to measure the levels of its
       ultraviolet flux. This is to find out if the flux levels are high
       enough for subsequent observations using the HRS and the FOS. The
       guide star acquisition failed to make course track. The search
       radius limit was exceeded on FGS#2. An HSTAR was written. The
       subsequent observations had bad start and stop times which was left
       over from the preceding observations, and make the observations
       usable. A second HSTAR was written. 

   1.6 Completed GHRS/2 4223 (Absorption Cross Sections of Nearby Galaxies)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make one spectral
       observations of quasar 1004+130 to try and determine if this quasar
       is surrounded by a large gasious halo. The observations are
       currently being analyzed. 

   1.7 Initiated GHRS/2 2537 (Physical Conditions of Interstellar Gas)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph is currently being used to obtain
       high signal to noise ratio spectra of star HD80007 to help study the
       physical conditions in interstellar gas. The observations are
       continuing as scheduled, and no problems have been reported.

   2.4 Operations Note:

       Members of the HST community attend a special showing of an IMAX
       movie of the release of the telescope from the space shuttle. It was
       shown this morning (Tuesday, 8:30 A.M.) at the Smithsonian Air and
       Space Museum. The movie was very well received and enjoyed by all.
