PERIOD COVERED:  0700 EST
Daily Status Report as of 012/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5240 (SMOV-WF/PC-2 Flat Field
       Calibration)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of visual internal flat images.
       Six images were received and displayed in the OSS. Two of the images
       were reported to be underexposed, and the other four images were
       okay.

   1.2 Completed FOS/BL/RD 4709 (SMOV FOS/FGS Coarse Alignment)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue and Red Sides) was used to make
       two sets of spectral observations of cluster NGC-199 to help
       determine the location of the 4.3 arcsecond aperture. The
       observations were received and displayed. Both images were reported
       to be normal.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 4616 (WF/PC-2 Fine Alignment and Focus)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of bright globular cluster
       Omega Centauri (Visual Magnitude 2-3, and Color Index ~0) both in
       the visual and ultraviolet, and using each of the CCDs at different
       focus settings. A total of 15 images was received and displayed.
       One image was reported to show the effects from a recentering event.
       The OSS reported that the effect of the secondary mirror movement
       was noticeable.

   1.4 Completed FOC/96 4787 (SMOV FOC Throughput and Sensitivity)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/69) and COSTAR were used to make
       observations of the planetary nebula NGC-6543 to help measure the
       system's throughput. This also verifies that the COSTAR arm
       correctly blocks all of the direct light from reaching the FOC
       detector. As was expected, the single image showed no trace of the
       planetary nebula.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5190 (Observations of External Galaxies)

       The  WF/PC-2 was used to make images of a distant cluster of
       galaxies with a background quasi-stellar object. The OSS monitored
       the observations, and assessed the data quality. No anomalies were
       noted.

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Notes:

       The Secondary Mirror was successfully moved last night as part of
       the WF/PC-2 fine alignment (Prop. 4616).

       There were no reported problems in any onboard subsystem.  All SMOV
       activities continue to be performed nominally.
