1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:      

   1.1 Completed FGS 2565 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic
       Reference Frame Part 1 of 6) 

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make two sets of astrometric
       observations of objects 0109+224 and object 121-REF. These objects
       lie near the apparent position of extragalactic objects. These
       objects will also be observed with the HIPPARCOS satellite. The
       intent is to tie the HIPPARCOS system reference frame to the
       extragalactic reference frame. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.2 Completed Three Sets of WFC 4381 (HST Medium - Deep Survey - Cycle
       3) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make two set 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.

       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 no problems were reported. 

   1.4 Completed FOS/BL 4250 (Massive Stars in Starburst 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. No anomalies were reported. 

   1.5 Completed Two Sets of WFC 4713 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: WFC

       Internal Delta Flats)

         Nebula Nuclei - Cycle 3 High) 

       The Planetary Camera was used to make an observation of the central
       region of planetary nebula LOTR-5. It is possible that the central
       star in a double star. The observations was received and displayed
       in the OSS, the data was reported to be normal. 

   1.7 Completed GHRS/2 4510 (The Evolution of Boron: Implications for

       Galactic Evolution)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make spectrographic
       observations of the late type star HD142373 to help study the
       chemical and dynamical evolution of the galaxy. The science
       observations were reported to look normal. 

   1.8 Completed FOS/RD 5050 (Cycle 3: Internal Wavelength Calibration)

        The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make calibration spectra
        for every detector/ grating combination through the 0.3" circular
        and 0.1" paired apertures. The observations were monitored in the
        OSS, and the data quality was assessed. No problems were reported.


   1.9 Completed PC 5027 (WF/PC Cycle Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor -
       Part 2) 

       The Planetary Camera was used to make internal flat observations
       to check for quantum efficiency hysteresis. Two images were taken,
       and both were reported to look normal. 

   1.10 Completed WFC 5019 (A Survey of the Giant Branch in the Bulge of

       M-31, continuation of 2735)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to help make a survey of red giant
       stars in the nuclear bulge region (aka, NGC-224-1) of galaxy M-31
       (aka, the Andromeda Galaxy) to study the distribution and metal
       abundances of these stars. This is a continuation of proposal 2735.

       The OSS monitored the observations, and assessed the data quality.
       No anomalies were reported. 

   1.11 Completed GHRS/2 4226 (Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Hydrogen Poor

       Planetary Nebulae)

       The High Resolution spectrograph was used to make ultraviolet
       spectral observations of several emission knots and the central
       stars of the hydrogen-poor planetary nebula PK208+33D1. All
       observations were received in real time and were reported to look
       okay. 

   1.12 Completed PC 3912 (Cores of Early Type Galaxies)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make observations of the centeral
       region of Early type galaxy NGC-4889. The OSS Monitoed the
       observation, and assessed the data quality. No anomalies were
       reported. 

   1.13 Completed FOS/BL 4952 (QSO Absorption Survey Snapshot - Part 2 of
       3: Cycle 3 High) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make 2 observation of
       quasar 1220+1601 to look for absorption lines at low redshift, and
       also emission lines in the QSO's continuum. Both observations were
       received and displayed. Both observations were executed as

       scheduled, and no prblems were reported.

   1.14 Completed 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. The observations were received and displayed in the OSS.
       The observations were reported to be normal.

       Shot Period RR Lyrae type Stars) 

       The High Speed Photometer was used to  make observations of the RR
       Lyrae class star DY-PEG (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.
