PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 175/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/RD 4213 (Spectrophotometry of Lensed "Clover Leaf" Broad 
       Absorption Lines)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make eight observations of the
       Lensed quasi-stellar object QSO 1413+117 (aka, the Clover Leaf). The
       observations were displayed in the OSS, and they were reported to
       look okay. Two of the observations reported a noisy diode (i.e.,
       diode #381) in the images. 

   1.2 Completed PC/WFC 4770 (WF/PC cycle 2 Calibration: Internal Monitor 
       Proposal)

       Both the Planetary Camera and the Wide Field Camera were used to
       make routine KSPOT and dark calibration images. The dark image
       showed a peculiar streak, presumably resulting from the proceeding
       overexposed image of the star Beta Pictoris take on another
       proposal. The KSPOTs were reported to be normal. 

   1.3 Completed FOC/96 4804 (UV Imaging of Nearby Galaxies wit FOC/96)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make two ultraviolet
       observations of the nearby galaxy ESO-0344-3. Both observations
       lasted ten minutes, and used filter F220W. The observations was
       received via a science tape recorder playback, and displayed. An
       object was reported to appear in the field of view. There were two
       recentering events reported during the second observation. 

   1.4 Completed GHRS/2 4541 (Cepheid Masses,
       Cycle 3 High) 

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make spectral
       observations of the blue main sequence star which is a companion to
       Cepheid variable star HD91595 (aka, Y Carinae). This is to help
       determine the mass ratio fo the two stars. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.5 Completed WFC 4277 (Calibration of Nearby Galaxies 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.
