The shutter did not open during the first observation, because of an earlier guide star acquisition problems. The subsequent science observations were received and displayed. They were reported to look fine. 1.2 Completed PC 4902 (HST Medium - Deep Survey - Part 2 Low Latitude - Cycle 3 High) The Planetary Camera was used to make a long exposure taken in parallel with the prime science observation. Areas of interest are galactic structure and evolution. There is also the possibility of serendipitous discoveries. A total of five observations were received and displayed in the OSS. They were reported to look okay. 1.3 Completed WFC 4348 (Long Period Variables of M-81: Cycle 3 Medium) The Wide Field Camera was used to make one image to the galaxy M-81 (aka, NGC-3031) to look for long period variable stars which can be compared to those already studied in our own galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. These stars should have period of from 100 to 100 days. The observation was reported to look okay. 1.4 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 was reported to look fine. 1.5 Completed FOS/RD 4941 (Geometry and Generalizability of the Reflective Light Model for Seyfert Galaxies) The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make two observations of the Seyfert Galaxy MARK-1 (offset). The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. Both observations were reported to be normal. The binary search was successful in seven groups. The peakup located the target in the fifth of five groups. 1.6 Completed PC 4521 (Asteroid Shape and Duplicity - Cycle 3 High) The Planetary Camera was used to make three snapshot images of the large asteroid AST-09-FELI to look for possible satellites, shapes, and albedo variations. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported. 1.7 Completed PC 4712 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Measles Monitor) The Planetary Camera was used to make Earth Calibration Flat images to monitor of a form of contamination known as measles. The observations used filter F517N, both with and without filter F122M. The OSS monitored the observation and assessed the data quality. No problems were reported. 1.8 Completed FOC/96 3807 (Minkowski's Object) The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make observations of Minkowski's object, which is a starburst region triggered by a high energy radio jet. The history fo star formation will be traced along the path of the shock front by obtaining images over a wide range of wavelengths. A total of eight observations were received and displayed. They were reported to look normal. 1.9 Completed Three Sets of WFC 4381 (HST Medium - Deep Survey - Cycle 3) The Wide Field Camera was used to make three 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. The images were reported to look fine. 1.10 Completed Two Sets of PC 5073 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats Wide. 2) The Planetary Camera was used to make two sets of Earth flat calibration images using different filter combinations. These images will be used for flat field corrections of science images made with the PC. No anomalies were reported. 1.11 Completed Three Sets of PC 5072 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats Wide. 1) Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary camera were used to make Earth Flat calibration exposures using the wide and medium band filters. Ten observations were received and displayed in the OSS. Three images were reported to be okay, three were underexposed, three were saturated, and one was partially saturated. 1.12 Completed PC 5014 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats Narrow. 2) The Planetary Camera was used to make 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. four images were displayed. Two were saturated, one was underexposed, and one was okay. 1.13 Completed FOS/BL 4285 (Time-Resolved UV Spectrometry of Massive X-Ray Binaries: Cycle 3 High) The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used in the Rapid Mode to obtain high time resolution, phase dependent ultraviolet spectra of Vela X-1 (aka HD77581). It is expected to see pulsations and rapid variability in the ultraviolet P-Cycni lines. The onboard target acquisition was successful. No anomalies were reported. 1.14 Completed Two Sets of 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. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.15 Completed PC 5017 (Internal Velocity Distribution in Globular Clusters Pert Three, Cycle 3) The Planetary Camera was used to make observations of Globular Cluster NGC-7078. This set of observations will be used along with observations from proposal 1007, to study the proper motion of this cluster. Observations were made at different distances from the core center out to ten core radii. A total of ten observations were received and displayed in the OSS. Nine observations were reported to be okay. One observation had some data missing from group #1. At this time the cause of the data loss is not known, but is under investigation. 1.16 Completed HSP/POL 4889 (Gravitational Lens Part I - 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. The target acquisition was successful. All of the science observations were reported to look satisfactory. 1.17 Completed Two Sets of 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. A total of six observations were taken. Four were reported to be saturated, and two were okay. 1.18 Completed Two Sets of 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 six observation were received and displayed.
