PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 243/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WFC 4713 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: WFC Internal Delta
       Flats) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make a total of four internal flat
       calibrations images. The first image was saturated, and the other

       three were reported to look okay.

   1.2 Completed WFC 4385 (Spectroscopy and Imagery of Orion's Nebula -

       Cycle 3 High)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make image of regions in the Orion
       Nebula to learn more about its small structure at short wavelengths.
       The onboard target acquisition failed, and a status buffer error
       message was generated. An HSTAR was written. A corrective point
       maneuver was successfully calculated, and uplinked to the
       spacecraft. Subsequent observations were received and displayed.
       They were reported to look okay. The was also one recentering event
       which was reported to have occurred in one of the later
       observations. 

   1.3 Completed WFC 4348 (Long Period Variables of M81: Cycle 3 
       Medium)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make one image to the galaxy M-81
       (aka, NGC-3031)  to look for long period variable stars which can be
       compared to those already studied in our own galaxy and the
       Magellanic Clouds. These stars should have period of from 100 to 100
       days. The observation was reported to look okay, however, it was
       filed as being bad due to a recentering event. 

   1.4 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.
       Both observations completed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported. They were reported to look okay. 

   1.5 Completed FGS 4935 (Parallaxes of Hyades Cluster Members - Cycle 3

       High)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make astrometric observations
       of stars VA383 and PCEN383 which is located in the Hyades cluster to
       obtain a definitive calibration of its  population I zero-age main
       sequence members. The observation appeared to executed with no
       problems. 

   1.6 Completed FOS/RD 4545 (Outgassing From Ceres - Cycle 3 High)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make observations of the
       asteroid CERES to help confirm an IUE observations which detected OH
       emissions from the asteroid. The Decision observation was received
       in real-time and indicated that the target was perfectly centered.
       No pointing correction maneuver was necessary. The first science
       observation was received in the OSS and displayed for the
       investigator. The observations are still ongoing at this time. 

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

    2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 5
                                        Successful : 4

                            FGS #1 failed to acquirer fine lock at
                            243/0549Z, and successfully obtained course
                            track back-up. There were no indications of
                            vehicle errors.

        (PREP FOR SA RETRACT through SAFE MCU), and should last for
        approximately 37 hours.
