1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed 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. The
       observations were received and examined in the OSS and looked as
       expected.

   1.2 Completed FGS 5061 (Linking HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic Reference
       Frame, Part 4 of 6)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make astrometric observations
       of star NEWEGOB-34 whose apparent position lies near an
       extragalactic object. The intent of these observations is to tie the
       reference frame to the extragalactic reference frame. Except for a
       few recenterings, all observations were reported to be nominal.

   1.3 Completed FGS 5331 (Linking HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic Reference
       Frame, FT1-11, Part 7)

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make astrometric observations of
       stars, 1150+497IN and INCA221-72 and nearby extragalactic objects
       which are known to have a small angular separation. The baseline
       guide star acquisition got fine lock. There was one reported
       recentering event.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5370 (HST Medium-Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium, High
       Galactic Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to make high galactic latitude observations as part of a medium-deep
       sky survey. The main purpose of these observations is to study the
       evolution and structure of galaxies. Eight observations were
       received and displayed in the OSS. Many of the observations received
       recentering events, but otherwise looked okay. One observation still
       remains on the science tape recorder.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5209 (Luminous Stars in Old Stellar Populations)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of globular cluster
       NGC-6681 to look at old luminous stars. Observations were made at
       both the visible and ultraviolet wavelengths. The observations were
       successfully completed in fine lock, and they were monitored by the
       OSS. No anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5436 (Age and Population of Super Metal Rich
       Globular Clusters)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the super metal rich
       globular cluster TARAZAN-1 located in the central bulge of our
       galaxy. The hope is to determine the age of this cluster. All
       observations were completed in fine lock. The observations were
       monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. No
       anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5204 (The Disk Around Young Stellar Objects)

       The WF/PC-2 Camera was used to make observations of the variable
       proto star T-Tauri located in the Taurus molecular cloud to examine
       the disk known to be around this stellar object. It is hoped that
       this will determine the physical properties, albedo, particle size,
       and its spatial distribution of particles in the disk. The baseline
       acquisition occurred during LOS. The observations were made in fine
       lock, and the recentering counter had not been incremented. The
       observation complete as expected.

   1.8 Completed FGS 5174 (Astrometric Companions Search: Cycle 4)


       FGS #3 was used to make astrometric observations of the possible
       binary dwarf star BD+68D946 to look for an astrometric unseen low
       mass companion. The OSS monitored the observations and assessed the
       data quality. No anomalies were noted.

   1.9 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 observations 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. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5233 (Stellar Populations and Clusters in
       Elliptical Galaxies (WC08))

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep observations of elliptical galaxy
       NGC-4881 which is located in the Coma Cluster of galaxies to study
       its stellar population. This is to help determine the distance to
       the Coma Cluster. The observations were complete as scheduled, and
       no anomalies wereoted.
