Daily Status Report as of 054/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOC/96 5131 (Studies fo Spiral Nuclei: Cycle 4
       Continuation)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make observations of the
       central nuclear region of nearby spiral galaxy NGC-4736 (aka, M-94).
       This is to look for signs of condensation in the nucleus, and other
       phenomena which can not be seen from the ground. Two images were
       received and displayed in the OSS. Although the images were reported
       to look good, they did not include the expected nuclear region.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5612 (SMOV WF/PC-2 Decontamination)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to do decontamination operations. Observations
       of standard  A+81D266, and K- Spot observations were also taken. A
       total of six observations were monitored and displayed. All of the
       observations were reported to be nominal.

   1.3 Completed S/C 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. Observations were made
       using standard star WD501+527. The observations were received and
       displayed in real time. They were reported to be nominal.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5355 (The Binary Frequency Among Solar Type Stars
       in Young Clusters: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to  make observations of the young star cluster
       NGC-2068-PO looking for binary stars with separations as low as 0.1
       arcseconds to determine the frequency of binaries in this young
       cluster. Six observations were received and displayed. They all were
       reported to look okay. Two short recentering events were reported to
       have happened.

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

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of the possible
       binary star VA420 which is located in the Hyades open cluster. The
       OSS monitored the observations. The continuous scans completed with
       no problems except for a recentering event during the last minutes
       of the observations.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5206 (The Crab Nebula)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make high spatial resolution observations of
       the Crab Nebula (aka, M-1) to study the ionization structure of the
       filaments within the nebula. This is to study the chemical
       composition of the nova ejecta, photoionization processes, dust
       formation, and interaction of thermal and relativistic plasmas. Two
       observations were monitored. There were multiple recenterings
       associated with an End-of-Orbit-Night (EON).

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make an Earth calibration image.
       The image was received and displayed,and it was reported to be okay.
