1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed HSP/POL 4888 (Remnant Stars in Supernova Remnants - AUG - 
       Cycle 3 High)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make observations of star
       SS433 (Visual magnitude of 14) which is a remnant star from a
       supernova which has emission lines that vary in velocity by
       relativistic amounts. A large number of observations were received
       in real time and displayed. Two observations occurred during and
       LOS. A recentering event occurred during one observations. All of
       the observations were reported to be satisfactory. 

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

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make spectral observations
       of the nuclear regions of Seyfert galaxy NGC-5548 looking for time
       variations in its continuum, and emissions in Carbon IV and Helium
       II. The OSS Monitored the observations and assessed the data
       quality. No problems were reported. 

   1.3 Completed PC 4714 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Internal Delta Flats)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make internal delta flat
       observations. These images will be used to the restoration of Earth
       flats, which were altered due to changes in quantum efficiency
       which occurred after WFPC decontamination operations. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported. 

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

       Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to
       make internal flat observations checking for new forms of
       contamination (i.e., measles and daisies), and the possible return
       of quantum efficiency hysteresis. The OSS conducted routine
       monitoring and data evaluation. No problems were reported. 

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

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make high latitude medium-deep sky
       survey observations taken in parallel with the prime science
       observations. This program is intended to increase the telescope's
       efficiency, while providing basic sky survey data for a variety of
       projects. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       problems were reported.
