PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 047/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed GHRS/2 4766 (Boron in Population Two Dwarf Stars, Part 2)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make observations of
       the Boron lines at 2496 and 2497 A0 in the metal poor unevolved star
       HD140283. The OSS monitored the spiral search portion of the onboard
       target acquisition. The target was found in the first map. No other
       problems were reported. 

   1.2 Completed FOC/96 3325 (Structure of Globular Clusters)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make observations of the inner
       core regions of the globular cluster Omega Centauri (aka,NGC-5139).
       Wide Field Camera images were also taken in parallel with the FOC
       f/96 camera. The observations were made during LOS, and still remain
       of the science tape recorder. They will be analyzed later. 

   1.3 Completed FOC/96 4353 (Far UV Observations of the Giant Planets)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96)was used to make ultraviolet
       observations of the northern polar regions of the planet Jupiter.
       The first observations was received in real time and displayed for
       the principal investigator. A corrective SIP maneuver was
       successfully executed, and the following observation occurred
       during LOS. The Play back showed significant jitter, although FGS #3
       remained in course track. During the next observation an "interactive
       acquisition" was scheduled, but the scheduled corrective SIP
       maneuvers were canceled because the pointing correction was
       successfully uplinked at the first opportunity. The science
       observations still remain on the Science Tape Recorder, and will be
       analyzed later. No problems were reported. 

   1.4 Completed FOS/BL 4698 (FOS Dark Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make dark
       calibration exposures to determine the instruments background. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and monitored in the OSS.
       No problems were reported. 

   1.5 Initiated FOC/96 4071 (UV Studies of Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make observations of the
       structure of the nuclei of galaxy NGC-4278. This is to study the
       Oxygen II emission regions. The observations were monitored in the
       OSS, and no problems were reported. 

   1.6 Initiated WFC 1297 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to take high latitude observations in
       parallel with the prime science observations. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.
