1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WFC 5075 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: WFC Flats Wide. 1)

       Observations were made to make a standard calibration to obtain
       Earth flats using the Wide Field Camera. A total of two observations
       were taken. One was reported to be saturated, and one was okay.

   1.2 Completed PC 4308 (Snapshot Survey for Companions to Planetary
       Nebula Nuclei - Cycle 3 High)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make an observation of the central
       region of planetary nebula ABELL64. It is possible that the central
       star in a double star. Two observations was received and displayed
       in the OSS, the data was reported to be normal.

   1.3 Completed PC 4904 (The Nuclei of Nearby S0 and Spiral Galaxies - III
       A PC Snapshot Images)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make one observations of the
       low-red-shift galaxy NGC-1574 to study its surface brightness
       profile, identify sub-arc-second scale condensations, find point
       sources, and look for gasious disk and dust lanes. The observation
       was executed without problems. The data was received and displayed.
       No problems were reported.

   1.4 Completed FOS/BL 4260 (Extreme Stellar Winds and Post Main Sequence
       Evolution)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make observations of star
       BE261. This star is believed to be intermediate between a class O
       and WR star and to have strong winds and high mass loss rate (i.e.,
       much higher than normal O class stars). The onboard target
       acquisition was successful. The peakup had its greatest signal in
       the final group, so it could not be judged if the peakup failed or
       succeeded. The spectral observations were received and displayed.
       There was some uncertainty about the target being in the slit. No
       other anomalies were reported.

   1.5 Completed WFC 3589 (Parallel High Resolution Imaging of Defuse
       Objects in the Magellanic Clouds)

       The Wide Field Planetary Camera was used to make observations of the
       nebulous object LMC-N44D which is located in the Large Magellanic
       Cloud. This observations was take in parallel with the prime science 
       observation. Am emission line filter and nearby continuum filter
       were used. One image was received and displayed. It was reported to
       look okay.

   1.6 Completed HSP/UV1/POL 4209 (HSP Detector Sensitivity Test)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make four calibration
       observations of standard star HD+75D325 to determine the instruments
       long term sensitivity of the IDT detectors. The observations could
       not be monitored because of hardware problems in the OSS.

   1.7 Completed HSP/UV1 4945 (Periodic Variations in DQ Herculis Stars -
       Cycle 2 High)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make nearly five hours of
       observations of variable star DQ Her (aka, Nova Her 1934). The
       chosen bandpass avoids the strong ultraviolet emission seen in the
       spectrum of this target. Rapid periodic luminous variations in the
       optical and X-Ray are characteristic for this class of cataclysmic
       variable. The observations could not be monitored because of
       hardware problems in the OSS.

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 5040 (GHRS Detector Calibrations - Cycle 3)

       The High Resolution spectrograph was used to make a set of internal
       calibrations to check the stability of the HRS detectors. The test
       included dark counts, focus checks. and flat field observations. The
       observation was executed as scheduled. The observations could not be
       monitored because of hardware problems in the OSS.

   1.9 Completed HSP/UV2 4801 (Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in AM Herculis
       Binaries)

       The High speed Photometer was used to make ultraviolet high speed
       observations of the oscillations in the light from the variable star
       AM Her. This is replacement of proposal 3607. This binary system has
       a magnetic white dwarf star which is accreting matter from its
       companion. The observation was executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were reported.
