1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Four Sets of  PC 4714 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: PC
       Internal Delta Flats)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make four sets of internal flat
       calibration image which will be used for the restoration of Earth
       flat images. These were altered due to changes in quantum efficiency
       which occurred after decontamination operations. The observations
       was received and displayed in the OSS. They were reported to look
       okay. 

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

       The Planetary Camera was used to make four 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, and the other three were okay. 

   1.3 Completed FOC/96 4834 (Crane, Augmentation, Cycle 3 High)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make only one exposure to
       study the content and morphology of the nuclear region of radio
       galaxy 3C31 (aka., NGC-383). The observations was received and
       displayed in the OSS. The image was reported to look normal. 

   1.4 Completed WFC 4381 (HST Medium - Deep Survey - Cycle 3)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make one set of medium-deep high
       latitude sky survey observations taken in parallel with the prime
       science observations. The observation was executed as scheduled, and
       no problems were reported. The image was reported to look normal.


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

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of the possible
       binary star VA610 which is located in the Hyades open cluster. The
       OSS monitored the observation, and no problems were seen with the
       telemetry. 
 
   1.6 Completed PC 4644 (The Nuclei of Nearby S0  and Spiral Galaxies -I A
       PC Snapshot Imaging) 

       The Planetary Camera was used to make one snapshot observation of
       the spiral galaxy NGC-855. The observations used filter F555W and
       chip PC6. The exposure lasted 300 seconds. The observations was
       received and displayed, and it was reported to look normal. 

   1.7 Completed PC 4929 (WF/PC Cycle 2: Improved Dark Calibration) 

       The Planetary Camera was used to make four dark calibration images.
       The two exposures lasted 1200 seconds each, and the camera was
       pre-flashed before the observations. All four observations were
       reported to be normal exposures. 

   1.8 Completed FOC/96 4546 (Imaging of UV Bright Stars in the Galactic
       Bulge)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make observation of the bright
       ultraviolet star SGR-I (i.e., Sagittarii-I) which is located in
       Baade's Window. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       problems were reported. 

   1.9 Completed FOS/BL 4662 (Exploring Triton's UV Spectrum: The First
       1800 - 2500  A0 UV Survey) 

        The Faint  Object Spectrograph was used to make five spectral
        observations for the moon Triton between 1800 and 2500 A0. This
        region has not been observed before. They are looking for CO, NO,
        and hydrocarbon absorption lines in its spectra. The OSS monitored
        the observations, and assessed the data quality. No problems were
        reported.

   2.4 Operations Note: 

       The JIS #2 Simulation was successfully completed this morning
       (Thursday, Aug. 31, 1993 at 0900Z). The simulation covered
       sequences 50 through 60 (PREP FOR SA RETRACT through SAFE MCU), and
       lasted for approximately 37 hours. All simulation objectives were
       met.
