Daily Status Report as of 120/1200Z.

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 medium-deep
       sky survey image in parallel with the prime science observations.
       The image was received and displayed in the OSS. It was reported to
       look okay. 

   1.2 Completed FOS/RD 3858 (The Inner Regions of Quasars: Cycle Two 
       Continuation)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make four
       spectrophotometry observations of the inner regions of the quasar
       PKS1354+19 to study line profiles, and the continuum energy
       distribution over a wide wave length range. The binary found the
       target in nine groups, and all of the spectral observations were
       reported to look okay. 

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of PC 4770 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Internal 
       Monitor Proposal)

       The Planetary Camera was used to obtain a total of seven bias,
       dark, and internal flat calibration images required for routine
       calibration of the instrument. All seven observations were received
       and displayed. They were reported to be okay. 

   1.4 Completed FOC/96 3801 (Search for QSOs Suitable for Subsequent 
       Observations of He II)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make one observation of
       quasi-stellar object 1305+296 to measure its ultraviolet flux to see
       if it is sufficiently strong enough for future observations using
       the FOS and GHRS. The observations executed with no problems. The
       observations were received and displayed. No anomalies were noted. 

   1.5 Completed Five Sets PC 4714 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: PC Internal 
       Delta Flats)   

       The Planetary Camera was used to make seven internal flat images
       using filter F673N. These images will be used for the restoration of
       Earth flats, which were altered due to changes in quantum efficiency
       which occurred after decontamination operations. All seven
       observations executed without appearent problems. The observations
       still remain on the science tape recorder, and will be analyzed
       later. 

   1.6 Completed FOC/96 4804 (UV Imaging of Nearby Galaxies With FOC/96) 

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make one observation of
       nearby galaxy UGC-6524. It was a ten minute exposure, using filter
       F220W. The observation executed without appearent problems. 

   1.7 Completed FOS/BL 4054 (Probing the Nuclear Regions of Seyfert Galaxy 
       NGC-5548)

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

   1.8 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.9 Completed WFC/PC 4109 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Rapid Internal 
       Monitor)

       Internal flat observations were made with both the Wide Field Camera
       and the Planetary Camera to check for new form of contamination, and
       the possible return of quantum efficiency hysteresis. The
       observations were monitored by the OSS, and no problems were
       reported.
