PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 305/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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. A total of two observations were received. One observation
       was reported to be partially saturated, and the other was okay.

   1.2 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.3 Completed PC 5023 (Calibration/WFPC Cycle 3 Polarization
       Calibration)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make polarization calibration
       observations by using images of a non-polarized standard star GD319.
       This will allow for the absolute transmittance of the polarized
       optical path to be established. All images were received and
       displayed. No anomalies were reported.

   1.4 Completed HSP/UV2 4209 (HSP Detector Sensitivity Test)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make calibration
       observations of standard star BD75D325 to determine the instruments
       long term sensitivity of the IDT detectors. All observations were
       received and displayed. The OSS assessed the data quality, and no
       problems were reported.

   1.5 Completed HSP/POL 4888 (Remnant Stars in Supernova Remnants -
       Augmentation - Cycle 3 High)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make 17 ultraviolet
       polarimetric observations of super nova remnant SS433 which has
       emission lines that vary by relativistic amounts in a 162 day cycle.
       All seventeen observations were received and displayed. They were
       reported to look okay.

   1.6 Completed WFC/PC 5026 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: Rapid Internal
       Monitor)

       The Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to make
       internal flat calibration images. These images will be used to look
       for measles and daisies (i.e., different forms of contamination),
       and to monitor scattered light. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and science data still remains of Science Tape Recorder
       #3.

   1.7 Completed FOS/BL 4250 (Massive Stars in Starbursting Galaxies - FOS
       Exposures - Part 2)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       observations of the starbursting galaxy NGC-7552 to study the
       physics of massive stars and the processes which drive the galaxy's
       formation and evolution. The OSS monitored the observations, and
       assessed the data quality. One recentering event was reported to
       have occurred. No other anomalies were reported.

   1.8 Completed HSP/UV2 5084 (Visible and Ultraviolet Light Curves of
       Short Period RR Lyrae Type Stars)


       The High Speed Photometer was used to  make observations of the RR
       Lyrae class star CY AQR (Visual Mag = 10.5). The observations were
       hoped to obtain high speed, high signal to noise ratio data to look
       for short term fluctuations in the ultraviolet. The observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.9 Completed GHRS/2 2537 (Physical Conditions of Interstellar Gas
       Within 50 Parsecs)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to obtain high signal to
       noise ratio data from the standard star HD216956 to study the warm
       and cold regions of the interstellar medium to analyze lines in Al,
       Fe, Mn, Mg, and Carbon. The observations was executed as scheduled,
       and no problems were reported.

   1.10 Completed FOS/RD 5081 (Quasar Absorption Line Survey - cycle 3 High
       - Part 2)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make
       observations of quasar PKS0005-23 to learn more about the origin and
       evolution of gas along the line of sight to the target quasar. The
       onboard target acquisition failed, and the science observations was
       essentially blank.

   1.11 Completed WFC 4809 (Cycle 2 : WF/PC PSF Calibration Proposal)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make point spread function
       calibration image of standard star SAO107227. The OSS monitored the
       observations and assessed the data quality. No problems were
       reported. The image was reported to look fine.

   1.12 Completed Two Sets of FGS 4893 (Orbital Motions of Close Binary
       Stars - Cycle 3 High)

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make astrometric observations of
       the binary star system 0537-441IN and HD80671 to obtain its orbital
       elements. These observations are important since most of the
       estimates of stellar mass are made by observing elements of these
       systems. The astrometry was monitored. The first observation was
       successful, and the second was reported to have the Stop flag set at
       the end of the observation. No other anomalies were reported.

   1.13 Completed FGS 5057 (Extragalactic Astrometry and Astrophysics
       FT0-11, Part 1 of 2)

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make astrometric observations of
       of several different extragalactic objects. These observations will
       be used to determine the rotation of the reference frame used by the
       HIPPARCOS astrometry satellite. This proposal is tied to proposal
       1013. The guide star acquisition prior to the astrometry only
       reached Course Track, instead of the expected Fine Lock. This could
       degrade the quality of the astrometric observations. (See Operations
       Note 2.1).

   1.14 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 reported
       to be normal exposures.

   1.15 Completed FOS/BL 4372 (Ultraviolet Spectroscopy and
       Spectropolarimetry of Interacting Binaries)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       spectroscopic observations of the interacting eclipsing binary star
       V356-SGR. This star system has a period of 0.8 days and total
       eclipse lasts for about 10.6 hours. Observations were made both
       inside and outside the eclipse. The observations were monitored by
       the OSS, and the science data remains on the science tape recorder.

                            Guide star acquisition failed at 304/1527Z to
                            obtain Fine Lock, and went to Course Track.
                            Subsequent acquisitions were successful.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

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

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make nine observations of
       quasar QSO2345+00 which is an apparent gravitation lens system. Both
       photometric and polarmetric observations were made to find its
       characteristic signature in variability (In the time scale of
       weeks). All nine observations were monitored by the OSS, and the
       data quality was assessed. The observations were reported to be
       normal.

   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 NGC-6905. It is possible that the central
       star in a double star. The observations was received and displayed
       in the OSS, and no problems were seen.

   1.3 Completed FOS/RD/BL 5051 (FOS Cycle 3 Polarimetric Calibration)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red and Blue Sides) were used to make
       observations of the standard star BD28D4211 to make polarametric
       calibration observations. The three onboard target acquisitions (all
       peakups) were monitored and received in real-time. The target was
       not bracketed by any of the peakups.

   1.4 Completed WFC 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 reported
       to be normal exposures.

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Note:

       The SMGT #14A test terminated unexpectedly yesterday, Thursday, Oct.
       27. The Primary indications are that this was caused by an
       incorrectly specified gyro configuration in one of the table loads
       generated for the test. The problem is being investigated.
