1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FGS 5056 (High Speed Astrometry - A Search for Planetary 
       Companions to Low Mass)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make astrometric observations
       of Bernard's star to look for the presence of a Jupiter sized planet
       in orbit around the target star from the position perturbations
       caused by the planet. The astrometric observations were monitored in
       the OSS, and no problems were seen in the telemetry. 

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

       The Faint Object Camera was used to complete one ultraviolet
       snapshot observations fo the nearby galaxy UGC-12113. The exposure
       lasted for ten minutes and used filter F220W. The observation was
       reported to be satisfactory. 

   1.3 Completed Five Sets of FOS/RD 4952 (QSO Absorption System Snapshot 
       Survey - Part 2 of 3 : Cycle 3 High)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make 2 observation of
       quasar 1306+3021 to look for absorption lines at low redshift, and
       also emission lines in the QSO's continuum. Both observations were
       received and displayed. The spectrum from the following observations
       were reported to look fine. 

   1.4 Completed WFC 5013 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: WFC Flats Narrow. 2) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make two Earth flat calibration
       images to be used for flat fielding of WFC observations. The
       observations used the narrow band filters, both with and without
       neutral density filters. Both observations were received. One
       observation was reported to be saturated, and the other was okay. 

   1.5 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.6 Completed Three Sets of FOC/96 4608 (Multi Timescale Multispectral 
       Observation of the Jovian Aurora Cycle 3)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make observations of the Jovian
       Aurorae using a range of filters to study the intensity of the
       aurorae, and their wavelength dependence. A dark calibration image
       was successfully completed. The OSS verified that the correct filter
       was in place before each set of observations. All of the
       observations were reported to look excellent. 

   1.7 Completed PC/WFC 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. No
       problems were reported. 

   1.8 Completed Two Sets of FOS/BL 4548 (Search for Evidence of Active Ice 
       Volcanism on Europa Cycle 3 High)
 
       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make three observations of
       the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa looking for water volcanoes.
       Some of the ejected water will be photo-dissociated to produce OH,
       which should be detected by the emission band at 3090 A0. All three
       observations were reported to look satisfactory. 

   1.9 Completed FOC/96 4969 (Search for QSOs suitable for Subsequent 
        Observation of He II)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make an ultraviolet image of the
       quasi-stellar object 0234+013 to measure the levels of its
       ultraviolet flux to see if this object is suitable for subsequent
       observation with the FOS and GHRS. They are looking for absorption
       features of Helium II at 304 A0. The observation was executed as
       scheduled, and the image was reported to be satisfactory. 

   1.10 Completed FOC/96 4838 (Imaging of Elliptical Galaxies Cycle 3 Med.) 

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make two observations of
       the elliptical galaxy NGC-315 to locate precisely its center, and to
       measure if its center is bright enough for future spectroscopic
       observations. Both observations were received and displayed in the
       OSS. They were reported to look okay. 

   1.11 Completed WFC 4849 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program Cycle 3
       High) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make high latitude sky survey
       observations taken in parallel with the prime science observations.
       Two observations were received and displayed. They both were
       reported to look okay. 

   1.12 Completed FOS/BL 4396 (QSO Absorption System Snapshot Survey Part 1 
        of 3: Cycle 3 High)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make two
       spectrographic observations of quasar 0151+0433 to look for
       absorption line systems at low red shift, emission lines, and to
       study the QSO's continuum. The observations were  received in real
       time. The peakup had maximum counts in the first group, and the
       spectrum was weak. The baseline guide star acquisition failed to get
       fine lock so the observation was make in course track.
