PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 064/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOC/96 4071 (UV studies of Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make ultraviolet images of
       galaxy NGC-1365 to try and isolate oxygen III regions in it complex
       nuclei. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems
       were reported. 

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of PC 3603 (Snapshots of Protoplanetary Nebulae)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make two sets of observations of
       the protoplanetary systems PK352-00D2 and PK321_03D1 to study their
       current morphology. A total of four images were taken. They all were
       received and displayed. They were reported to look okay. 

   1.3 Completed FOS/RD 4220 (Imaging Spectrophotometry of Seyfert Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make five observations of
       Seyfert galaxy NGC-1068. The first two peakups were successful. Each
       of the 4X4 dwell scans had the maximum counts on the edge of the
       area scanned. The spectral observations was reported to look noisy,
       but showed some features. 

   1.4 Completed WFC/PC 4109 (WF/PC Calibrations: Rapid Internal Monitor)

       Internal Flat observations were made using both the Wide Field
       Camera and the Planetary Camera looking for new forms of
       contamination (i.e. measles and daisies), and the return of quantum
       efficiency hysteresis. Two observations were received and displayed
       in the OSS. They Both were reported to look okay. 

   1.5 Completed Two Sets of WFC 3172 (WF/PC SV Observations: Internal 
       Monitor Proposal)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make a bias and dark observation.
       No external sources were used. Both observations were received and
       displayed. They both were reported to look okay. 

   1.6 Completed WFC/FOS/BL 3707 (HST Observations of Periodic Comets)

       The Wide Field Camera and the Faint Object Spectrograph (on both the
       Red and Blue Side) was used to make observations of the periodic
       comet Schaumasse. The first WFC image reported the target near the
       edge for chip #2. Apparently one of the spoiler stars had been
       acquired. The next two base guide star acquisitions failed.
       Corrective SIP maneuvers were uplinked, however, the acquisition
       images showed no images and the following spectral observations were
       not received. An HSTAR was written. (See Note 2.1) 

   1.7 Completed PC 4093 (Survey of Nuclear Regions of 102 Markarian 
       Galaxies)

       The Planetary Camera was used in the snapshot mode to make high
       resolution images using filter F785LP of the inner regions of
       Markarian galaxy UGC-3973. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.8 Completed PC 4140 (WF/PC Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor Part 2)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make internal flat observations to
       check for new forms of contamination, and the return of quantum
       efficiency hysteresis. The observations were monitored by the OSS,
       and the data quality was assessed. No problems were reported.
