1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WFC 4750 (WFC Observations of NGC-4319  - Markarian 205:
       High Resolution Morphology) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make four images of the pair of
       interacting galaxies NGC-4319 and Mark 205. NGC-4319 has a redshift
       of 1700 km/sec, and Mark 205 has a redshift of 21000 km/sec. The
       observations were taken slightly offset from each other. All four
       images were reported to look good. 

   1.2 Completed FOC/96 3792 (UV Morphology of Starbursts in Interacting 
       Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make four ultraviolet imaging
       observations of the colliding galaxy system NGC-3690 and IC694 to
       study the the morphology of the starbursting regions within these
       two galaxies. All four observations were received and displayed in
       the OSS. They were all reported to be okay. 

   1.3 Completed WFC 4381 (HST Medium - Deep Survey, Cycle 3)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make one medium-deep high
       latitude sky survey observation taken in parallel with the prime
       science observations. The observation was executed as scheduled,
       and no problems were reported. 

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of WFC 4713 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: WFC 
       Internal Delta Flats)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make a total of six internal flat
       calibrations images. All six images were reported to be normal. 

   1.5 Completed PC 4140 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor
       - Part 2) 

       The WFPC was used to make two internal flat calibrations images to
       check for new forms of contamination (i.e., Daises and measles), and
       to check for the possible return of quantum efficiency hysteresis.
       The observations completed as scheduled, and both images were
       reported to look okay. 

   1.6 Completed FOC/96 4714 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: PC Internal Delta 
       Flats)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make one internal flat
       calibration image which will be used for the restoration of Earth
       flat images, which were altered due to changes in quantum efficiency
       which occurred after decontamination operations. The observations
       was received and displayed in the OSS. It was reported to look okay. 

   1.7 Completed FOC/96 4846 (High Resolution Observations of Cataclysmic 
       Variables: Cycle 3 High)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make two images of the
       cataclysmic variable star K648 which is suspected to have a complex
       region of nebulosity surrounding it. Both observations were received
       and displayed. They both were reported to look okay. 

   1.8 Completed WFC 4848 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program Cycle 3 High) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make two high latitude
       medium-deep sky survey observations taken in parallel with the prime
       science observations. Both observations were received and displayed.
       they were reported to look okay. 

   1.9 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.10 Completed Two Sets of PC 3603 (Snapshot of Protoplanetary Nebulae)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make a snapshot image of the
       protoplanetary system HD1967 to study its current morphology.
       One observation was received and displayed. The image was reported
       to be okay. 

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

       Rapid Internal Monitoring observations were made with both the Wide
       Field Camera and the Planetary Camera using filter F555W to look for
       new forms of contamination (i.e. daises and measles), and the
       possible return of quantum efficiency hysteresis. The observations
       were monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. The 
       images were reported to look okay.

   1.12 Completed GHRS/2 4580 (High Resolution Observations of the Jovian
        UV Aurora _ Cycle 3 Med) 

       The High Resolution spectrograph was used to make kinetic
       temperature measurements of the Jovian auroral regions, to better
       understand Jupiter's upper atmosphere. The observations were of the
       ultraviolet Lyman and Werner bands in the 1586 to 1620 A0 region. An
       onboard acquisition was performed on the Moon Io , and then the
       telescope was offset to Jupiter's auroral region. The observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.
