1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/BL 4110 (The Physics of Massive O-Stars in Different
       Parent Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       observations of giant O class stars in galaxy NGC-346-3 and
       NGC-346-1. Ultraviolet observations from 1150 A0 to 2300 A0 were
       made.  A couple of recentering events were reported to have occurred
       during the first observations. Several of the observations were
       recorded on the science tape recorder. The SHP and UDL were missing
       for on observation during playback. An HSTAR was written. No other
       anomalies were reported.

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

       The Planetary Camera was used to make two dark calibration images.
       The two exposures lasted 1200 seconds each, and the camera was
       pre-flashed before the observations. Both observations were recorded
       on science tape recorder #1, and successful played back later. Both
       observations were reported to be normal exposures.

   1.3 Completed FOC/96 5045 (FOC Observations to Monitor Desorption -
       Cycle 3)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make observations of the
       standard star GSC8842-12 using filter F486N in the F/96 mode to
       monitor the focus of the HST optics. Two observations were placed on
       science tape recorder #1, and will be analyzed later. No anomalies
       were reported.

   1.4 Completed FOC/96 5029 (FOC Plate Scale - Cycle 3)

       The Faint Object camera (f/96) was used to make observations of the
       object 47 Tuc (aka, NGC-104) to determine the plate scale
       calibration, and whether it is changing with time. A total of 11
       observations were received by the OSS. There was a 23 second
       recentering event which occurred during on of the observations. No
       other anomalies were reported.

   1.5 Completed FOC/96 4969 (Search for QSOs Suitable for Subsequent
       Observation of He II)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make ultraviolet images of the
       quasi-stellar object 0215-471 to measure the levels of its
       ultraviolet flux to see if this object is suitable for subsequent
       observation with the FOS and GHRS. They are looking for absorption
       features of Helium II at 304 A0. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.6 Completed HSP/POL 4888 (Remnant Stars In Supernova Remnants - Aug. -
       Cycle 3 High)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make ultraviolet polarimetric
       observations of super nova remnant SS433 which has emission lines
       that vary by relativistic amounts in a 162 day cycle. The OSS
       monitored the observations, and assessed the data quality. No
       problems were reported.

   1.7 Completed WFC 5076 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: WFC Flats Wide. 2)

       Routine Earth flat calibration exposures were taken with the Wide
       Field Camera. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the
       data quality was assessed. No problems were reported.

   1.8 Completed HSP/POL 5039 (GHRS Dark Noise Monitoring - Cycle 3)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make dark calibration
       images. The photoscan mode was used with an integration time of 10
       seconds and with seven bins, for a read-out every 70 seconds. There
       was no carrousel motion. Observations were taken both inside and
       outside the small science aperture. The observations were executed
       as scheduled, no anomalies were reported.

   1.9 Completed HSP/POL 4889 (Gravitational Lenes Part 1 - Aug. - Cycle 3
       High)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make observations of quasar
       QSO2345+00 which is an apparent gravitation lens system. Both
       photometry and polarmetry observations were made to find its
       characteristic signature in variability (In the time scale of
       weeks). The observations were monitored by the OSS, and the data
       quality was assessed. No problems were reported.
