1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

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

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make images of Object Centaurus A
       (Part 4) to view the jet and its inner regions. The observations
       were executed as scheduled and no problems were reported. 

   1.2 Completed PC 5020 (Separate Light Curves for Pluto and Charon -
       Spite of 3848) 

       The Planetary Camera was used to make image of the planet Pluto and
       its moon Charon. The OSS monitored the observations and assessed the
       data quality. No problems were reported. 

   1.3 Completed FGS 5060 (Linking HIPPARCCOS to the Extragalactic
       Reference Frame Part 2 of 6) 

       The Fine Guidance Sensor were used to make astrometric observations
       of the object INCA221-13. The observations will be used to determine
       the rotation of the reference frame used by the HIPPARCOS astrometry
       satellite. No problems were seen with the astrometric observations. 

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of 5014 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats 
       Narrow. 2)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make standard Earth calibrations
       images for flat fielding of PC observations. Medium and narrow
       filters were used, with and without neutral density filters. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, one observation was
       reported to be saturated, the other normal.

   1.5 Completed FOC/96 4539 (Polarization Imaging of Radio Galaxies -
       Cycle 3 Medium) 

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make images to the faint radio
       galaxy 3C33 to study its polarization and magnetic fields. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported. 

   1.6 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. One observation was reported to be saturated, the other 
       normal.

   1.7 Completed WFC/PC 4207 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Photometric 
       Calibration Monitor)

       Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to
       make ultraviolet calibration images of standard star BD+75D325. 
       Twelve observations were received and displayed in the OSS. There 
       were no apparent problems reported with the exposures. 

   1.8 Completed FOS/BL 4976 (UV Rotational Light Curves for Pluto and
       Charon's UV Spectrum - Split)

       The Faint object Spectrograph was used to make a TALED exposure
       subsequent to other spectral observations of the planet Pluto and
       its moon Charon. The TALED observation was received in real time. It
       was reported to look okay. After a corrective SIP maneuver was
       uplinked to the spacecraft, spectral observations were made of the
       planet Pluto. The observations were executed in fine lock. The 
       observations were reported to look normal.
