Daily Status Report as of 055/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio
       Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy 3C279.0
       as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology.
       Three images were received and displayed. The first two images were
       reported to look okay, and a recentering event occurred during the
       third observation.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5107 (Planetary Nebulae Nuclei Photometry (WC04):
       Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the nuclei of planetary
       nebula ME2-1 trying to detect its central star. This star is
       expected to be very hot and be emitting in the far ultraviolet
       wavelengths. Six images were received and displayed in the OSS. They
       were reported to be okay.

   1.3 Completed Five Sets of WF/PC-2 5562 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration:
       Internal Monitor 3: Darks)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain several 30 minute long dark exposures
       to provide ongoing calibration of the CCD dark current and to
       monitor and characterize the evolution of hot pixels. Five images
       were received and displayed in the OSS. All five images were
       reported to look okay.

   1.4 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 canceled at the request of the principal investigator. No
       anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed FOS/BL 5614 (SMOV FOS/FGS Fine Alignment (1.0 Reference))

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make spectral observations
       of the cluster NGC-188-225 to help determine the location of the 1.0
       arcsecond aperture for both the Red and Blue Sides. A total of 32
       observations were received and displayed. They all were reported to
       be nominal.

   1.6 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 bias, K-Spot,
       and internal flat calibration images to monitor the instrument's
       performance. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the
       data quality was assessed. Eight images were received and displayed.
       No anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5212 (Globular Cluster Formation in Cooling Flow
       or Interacting Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the globular cluster
       NGC-6052 to obtain some insight into the clusters formation
       mechanism. The baseline guide star acquisition got fine lock, and
       six observations were received and displayed. There were numerous
       recenterings during the second observation.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5240 (SMOV-WF/PC-2 Flat Field Calibration)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of Earth flat images. Six images
       were received and displayed. Three images were reported to be okay,
       and two were underexposed.

   1.9 Completed FGS 5586 (Parallax of Hyades Cluster Members: Cycle 4
       High)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were use to make astrometric observations
       of various different stars located in the Hyades cluster to
       determent their parallax and compute the distance modulus of the
       cluster. The astrometric observations were monitored by the OSS, and
       no problems were seen in the telemetry.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5092 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations taken in parallel with the
       prime science observations. This is part of a survey to take a large
       number of fields within 30 degrees of the galactic plan. The intent
       is to determine the luminosity function of low mass stars and the
       mass density in the solar neighborhood. The images were received as
       scheduled, and they were reported to look okay.

   1.11 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. The
       image remain on the Science Tape Recorder (STR) and will be analyzed
       later.
