1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of WFC 4666 (The Jets of Centaurus A and Its Host 
       Galaxies - Cycle 3 Medium)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make 12 ultraviolet and polarized
       light observations of KNOT-A on the inner jet of Centaurus A (aka,
       NGC-5128). This is to make comparisons to sub-arcsecond structure
       found in radio maps and to make observations at other wave lengths
       to determine the physical processes going on in the jet. All of the
       observations were received and displayed. They were reported to look
       very good. 

   1.2 Completed Four Sets of PC 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. 

   1.3 Completed FGS 4892 (Duplicity Among Hyades Stars - Cycle 3 High)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of the possible
       binary star VA537 which is located in the Hyades open cluster. The
       OSS monitored the observation, and no anomalies were reported. 

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

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make 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. A total of two observations were received. One observation
       was reported to be saturated, and the other were okay. 

   1.5 Completed GHRS/1 3845 (Deciphering the UV Emission Lines in the T 
       Tauri Systems)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make eight ultraviolet
       spectral observations of the T-Tauri class star RW-Aurigae to study
       the width and shape of its emission lines which will put constraints
       on the type of mechanism producing these lines. One wavelength
       calibrations and eight spectral observations were received and
       displayed. The spectral observations were reported to look fine. 

   1.6 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 observations were
       reported to look fine. 

   1.7 Completed FOC/96 4800 (The Stellar Content of Wolf-Rayet Galaxies
       (FOC Images)) 

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make one spectral observation
       of the Wolf-Rayet galaxy TOL-35. This galaxy is a star bursting
       galaxy which exhibits broad He II emissions at 4686 A0 from stellar
       sources. The observation was received and displayed. No anomalies
       were noted. 

   1.8 Completed HSP/POL 1097 (X-Ray Binaries Part 2 - Cycle 2 High)
 
       The High Speed Photometer was used to make two photometric
       observations of the X-Ray binary star HD226868 taken with different
       filters. The observations were received and displayed in the OSS.
       They Both were reported to be successful. 

   1.9 Completed PC 4929 (WF/PC Cycle : Improved Dark Calibration) 

       The Planetary Camera was used to make dark calibration images. The
       exposures lasted 1200 seconds each, and the camera was pre-flashed
       before the observations. The observations were monitored by the OSS,
       and the data quality was assessed. No problems were reported.
