1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WFC 4105 (HST Medium Deep Survey: Cycle 1 High Latitude)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make one high latitude survey
       image taken in parallel with the prime science observation. The
       image was reported to look satisfactory. 

   1.2 Completed FOC/96 4804 (UV Imaging of Nearby Galaxies with FOC/96)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make two single
       ultraviolet images of nearby galaxies UGC-5840 and ESO-0910-2. The
       first observation was reported to be well exposed, however, a
       recentering event was reported to has lasted for 12 seconds during
       the exposure. The second observation was reported to have low
       counts. 

   1.3 Completed GHRS/2 3664 (Probing the Gas of the Super Bubble LMC2)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make spectral
       observations of OB class star SK69290 which is located in
       Superbubble #2 in the large Magellanic cloud. It is known to have an
       expanding shell of hot gas which is moving outward through the
       interstellar medium. Ten observations were received and displayed in
       the OSS. The target acquisition was successful, and the spectra was
       reported to look noisy. 

   1.4 Completed HSP/UV1 4807 (Variable and Ultraviolet Light Curves of Short 
       Period RR Lyrae-Type Stars) 

       The High Speed Photometer was used to look for short term
       fluctuations in the light curve of RR Lyrae class star AI Velorum.
       Two observations were received and displayed in real-time. The first
       observation showed the target near the edge of the aperture, and the
       second was well centered. 

   1.5 Completed WFC 1306 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make some low latitude long
       duration exposures take in parallel with the prime science
       observations. The observations were executed as scheduled, and
       monitored in the OSS. No problems were reported. 

   1.6 Completed FOS 4054 (Probing of the Nuclear Regions of Seyfert Galaxy 
       NGC-5548)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make spectral observations
       of the nuclear regions of galaxy NGC-5548 to study time variability
       if its continuum, and emission line of Helium II and Carbon IV. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported.
