1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WFC 4382 (HST Imagery and Spectroscopy of the Dusty SMC H
       II Region N88A: Cycle 3 High) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make six images of the dusty H II
       region in N88A which is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This
       imagery is to prepare for later spectroscopy, which will be defined
       in a separate proposal. All six observations were received and
       displayed. They all were reported to be okay. A recentering event
       occurred during the last observation. 

   1.2 Completed Three Sets of FOC/96 4804 (UV Imaging of Nearby Galaxies
       with FOC/96) 

       The Faint Object Camera was used to complete three ultraviolet
       snapshots of the nearby galaxy ESO-0324-2. The exposures lasted for
       ten minutes and used filter F220W. All three observations were
       received and displayed in the OSS. No anomalies were noted, except
       for a recentering event which occurred on the last observation. 

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of FOS/BL 4953 (QSO Absorption System Snapshot 
       Survey Part 3 of 3: Cycle 3 High) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make four
       observations of quasars 2308+0951 and 1543+4855 to look for
       absorption lines at low redshift, and also emission lines in the
       QSO's continuum. All four observations were received and displayed.
       They were reported to look okay, with maximum counts in the first
       and third groups of the 1X3 peakups. There was a recentering event
       which occurred during the last observation. 

   1.4 Completed FOS/BL 4952 (QSO Absorption System Snapshot Survey - Part 
       2 of 3 : Cycle 3 High) 
  
       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make two
       observations of quasar 1123+5929 to look for absorption lines at low
       redshift, and also emission lines in the QSO's continuum. Both
       observations were received and displayed. The 1X3 peakup had maximum
       counts in the second group, and the spectrum from the following
       observations looked okay. 

   1.5 Completed FOS/RD 4396 (QSO Absorption System Snapshot Survey - Part
       2 of 3 : Cycle 3 High) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make one
       spectrographic observation of quasar 0506-6113 to look for
       absorption line systems at low red shift, emission lines, and to
       study the QSO's continuum. The observations was received in real
       time. The maximum counts for the 1X3 peakup were in the second
       group. 

   1.6 Completed GHRS/2 4966 (Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of Jupiter -
       Cycle 3 High) 

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make ultraviolet
       spectral observations of the planet Jupiter at a given latitude.
       Blind pointing was used. The planetary rotation was not taken into
       account, therefore, the resulting spectra will be a zonal average.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported. 

   1.7 Completed WFC 5016 (The Evolution of the UV Spectra in Early Type
       Galaxies Out to Z = 0.7) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make images of the weak radio
       galaxy 53W039 to study its current morphology. This study will be
       later followed by proposal 3545 to do a complete spectrographic
       study of the galaxy. The OSS monitored the observations and assessed
       the data quality. No problems were reported.
