1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Five Sets of WF/PC-2 5240 (SMOV WF/PC-2 Flat Fields
       Calibration)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of visual internal flat images,
       and Earth calibration images. 14 images were received and displayed.
       They were reported to be okay.

   1.2 Completed GHRS/2 5549 (GHRS Side 2 Dark Noise Monitor: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal tests for routine monitoring
       of detector dark noise. There was no carousel motion. The data came
       down in the form of a STR dump. The data were reviewed in the OSS,
       and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed  WF/PC-2 4763 (WF/PC-2 QE and Throughput Measurement)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet exposures of the UV
       flux-standard star BD+75D325 to be used for alignment studies. The
       observations were completed in fine lock. A total of four
       observations were completed as scheduled. The OSS monitored the
       observations, and assessed the data quality. No anomalies were
       noted.

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of GHRS/2/S/C 5196 (GHRS SMOV Side 1 High Voltage
       Turn On)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was was turned on using
       its high voltage for early calibrations tests. The GHRS came to high
       voltage (21.56 K-volt) at around 043/0015Z. 15 calibration dark
       images were also taken. The observations were received and
       displayed. They all were reported to look normal.

   1.5 Completed FOC/96 5139 (A Search For Low Mass Companions to Nearby
       Astrometric Binaries)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to to search for faint
       companions near the astrometric binary star BD+68D946. The base line
       guide star acquisition got fine lock, and the observations were
       executed as scheduled. Two FOC images were received and displayed.
       No anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5091 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to make high galactic latitude greater than +/-30 degrees. These are
       randomly chosen fields to sample very low luminosity stars in the
       solar galactic neighborhood, galactic halo objects, and distant
       galaxies. Two images were received and displayed. Both images were
       reported to be nominal.

   1.7 Completed FGS 4892 (Duplicity Among Hyades Stars: Cycle 3, High)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of the possible
       binary star VA764 which is located in the Hyades open cluster. The
       OSS monitored the observation. Except for one recentering event, no
       anomalies were reported.

   1.8 Completed  Two Sets of FOS/RD 5320 (A New Size Constraint on Lyman
       Alpha Clouds: Cycle 4 Medium)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make
       observations of quasar Q0107-025D to look for interstellar
       absorption lines. A wavelength calibration observation was also
       taken. A total of twenty observations were received and displayed.
       One recentering event was reported to have occurred during the
       fourth observation. The other observations were reported to look
       fine.

   1.9 Completed Four Sets of WF/PC-2 5369 (HST Medium Deep Survey: Cycle 4
       Medium, High Galactic Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 made a series of observations of high latitude objects
       as part of a medium deep sky survey. Several different filters were
       used. The observations were taken in parallel with other prime
       science observations. Seven observations were executed as scheduled.
       A recentering event occurred during the first observation. One
       observation still remains on the science tape recorder. No other
       anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed Two Sets of FOS 5486 (I ZW 1: A Template Fe II Quasar)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make high signal to noise
       ratio observations of the quasar 1-Zw-1 (aka, One-Zwanky-One) to
       help develop a technique to subtract the contaminating Fe II
       emission lines from the quasars spectra at optical wavelengths. The
       first set of eight observations were taken in fine lock, and were
       reported to be satisfactory. FGS #1 failed to course track (See
       Operations Note 2.1), and the next two observations were taken under
       course track. They both were reported to look okay.

   1.11 Completed FGS 2860 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic
       Reference Frame, Part 3 of 6)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of
       extra-galactic object NEWEGOA-11 to help tie the HIPPARCOS and
       extragalactic reference frames together at the 0.0005 arcsecond
       level. The base line guide star acquisition got fine lock. The
       experiment completed without anomaly.
