PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 308/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WFC 4658 (Determination of the Extragalactic )

       The Wide field Camera was used to make images of two different
       fields within the large spiral galaxy M-101 (aka, NGC-5457) which is
       located in Ursa Major. This is to help locate Cepheid variable stars
       to determine a reliable distance which can be effected by reddening
       and metallicity. The OSS monitored the observations, and assessed
       the data quality. No problems were reported.

   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 ABELL30. It is possible that the central
       star in a double star. The observations was executed as scheduled,
       and no problems were reported.

   1.3 Completed HSP/UV2 1093 (Observations of ZZ Ceti Stars)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make ultraviolet observations
       of G117-B15A which is a pulsating white dwarf with a period of 215
       seconds. and has a visual magnitude of 15.2 . Two ultraviolet
       observations were made to obtain the star's color (i.e.,
       temperature) as a function of time. No anomalies were reported.

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

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

   1.5 Completed FOS/BL/RD 5200 (FOS Cycle 3 Scattered Light Calibration)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make observations of the
       late type star Alpha Orionis (aka, the super giant star Betelgeuse)
       to determine how much of the light from the continuum at wavelengths
       greater than 3000 A0 is being scattered by the gratings and shows up
       as spectra of weak ultraviolet sources. The observations were
       monitored by the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. No
       anomalies were reported.
