1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WFC 4277 (Calibration fo Nearby Galaxy Type IA Supernovae 
       as Standard Candles)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make one image of Cepheid variable
       stars located inside galaxy NGC-5253. This will make it possible to
       accurately determine the distance to this galaxy. This distance will
       be used to fine the true luminosity of the type - Ia supernova which
       have been observed in this galaxy. The observation was received and
       displayed in the OSS. The observation was reported to be okay. 

   1.2 Completed Three Set of PC 4770 (WF/PC cycle 2: Internal Monitor 
       Proposal)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make a series of nine internal
       flat, dark, and bias calibration observations. All nine observations
       were received in the OSS. They were reported to look okay. 

   1.3 Completed WFC 5010 (Determination of the Extragalactic distance 
       Scale. III. M-101. Recovery)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make two images of the spiral
       galaxy M-101 which is located in Ursa Major looking for Cepheid
       Variable stars. Both observations were received via a science tape
       recorder playback in the OSS. No problems were noted. 

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of PC 4213 (Spectrophotometry of Lensed, "Clover 
       Leaf" Broad Absorption Lines)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make Two observations of the
       quasi-stellar object Q1413+117 (aka, The Cover Leaf). This system is
       know to be lensed, and have broad absorption spectral lines. Both
       observations were received vie a science tape recorder dump and
       displayed in the OSS. The position of the target and intensities
       were measured. 

   1.5 Completed PC 4393 (Disks Around Main Sequence Stars: Cycle 3 High) 

       The Planetary Camera was used to make seven observations of the star
       HD39060 (aka, Beta Pictoris) to obtain images of the protoplanetary
       disk with better resolution than previous observations. The first
       six observations were displayed and co-added for the observers, who
       reviewed the images. No anomalies were noted with these images. The
       last observation was reported to have had a recentering event occur
       during the observation. A bad data report was filed. 

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

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make one ultraviolet snapshot
       image of the nearby galaxy ESO-0307-4. The exposure lasted ten
       minutes, and used filter F220W. The image was received via a science
       tape recorder playback, and was reported to have the target well
       centered in the field of view. 

   1.7 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871
 
   1.8 Completed FOC/96 4353 (Hubble Space Telescope Imaging of IO: cycle 3 
       High)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make ultraviolet and visible
       images of Jupiter's moon Io to determine the abundance and
       distribution of surface and atmospheric constituents, particularly
       sulphur dioxide. An internal dark, and pointing adjust image were
       also taken. An observation was made to verify that the correct
       filter was in place, and a corrective maneuver was successfully
       uplinked. The observations of the moon Io were reported to look
       fine.
