Daily Status Report as of 033/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5475 (A Snapshot Survey for Blue
       Stragglers in Magellanic Cluster Cores)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make short exposure snapshot images of the
       blue straggler stars located in populous  clusters SL-842, SL-855,
       NGC-2155, NGC-2209, and NGC-1651. A populous cluster is the
       Magellanic Cloud equivalent of a galactic globular cluster. The
       observations were made with two different color filters. The intent
       is to find out if blue straggler stars exist within these clusters.
       All of the images were received and displayed. They were reported to
       look nominal.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 4709 (WF/PC -2 Internal Monitor)

       The WF/PC camera was used to make a series of routine dark
       calibration images to monitor the instrument's performance. Three
       observations were monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was
       assessed. No anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed COSTAR/U 5604 (COSTAR/FOS Fine Alignment - Focus Repeat of
       4745 With New Target)

       The scheduled Y-Tilt and X-Tilt adjustment for the COSTAR FOS
       mirror was completed as scheduled with no problems. The observations
       were received and displayed in real time.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5240 (SMOV-WFPC-2 Flat Fields Calibration)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of visual internal flat images.
       Eight images were received and displayed. They were reported to be
       okay.

   1.5 Completed GHRS/2 4744 (COSTAR/GHRS Fine Alignment - Focus)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make observations of
       ultraviolet standard star AGK81D266 to determine the best position
       of the M1 mirror. The star was observed at five different focus
       positions. All of the spiral searches and corrective pointing
       maneuvers worked as expected. All of the observations continued
       without apparent incident.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 4721 (WF/PC-2 Decontamination and TEC Turn On)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet photometric observations of
       the standard ultraviolet star A+81D266, plus K-Spots, and dark
       calibration images. All four sets of CCDs were used. A total of 11
       images were made in fine lock, and were received and displayed in
       the OSS. No anomalies were reported.
