1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5560 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal
       Monitor. 1)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make several internal bias calibration
       observations to monitor the CCD camera electronics, the optical
       alignment, and for contamination. A total of ten images were
       received and displayed. The fifth observation showed a bias jump,
       otherwise there was no problems.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5415 (The Distance to the M-96 Galaxy
       Group: Cycle 4 Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of Cepheid variable stars
       within the galaxies UGC-5889 and NGC-3368 which are located in the
       M-96 galaxy cluster. This is to help determine the distance to this
       galactic group, and to improve the determination of the Hubble
       constant. Two observations were received and displayed in the first
       set. The first observation showed a 35 second recentering event, and
       the second observation had a 138 second recentering event in three
       second bursts. No problems were seen with the second set of images.

   1.3 Completed Six 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 3C200.0
       as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology.
       Three images were received and displayed. All three were reported to
       look okay.

   1.4 Completed GHRS/2 5443 (A Study of Galactic Gas-Phase Abundance
       Gradients: Cycle 4 High)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make observations of
       star HD177989 at three different wavelengths using the Echelle
       gratings to help measure galactic gas-phase abundance. Of particular
       interest are the ultraviolet interstellar absorption lines due to Si
       II, Zn II, Cr II, and Fe II. The observations were completed without
       apparent incident. The onboard 5X5 spiral target acquisition located
       the target in map six. There were several recentering events
       reported. Two observations were received and displayed, and it was
       reported to look okay.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5570 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Earthflats.
       Large Set)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of Earth flat calibration images
       using different filters in order to construct high quality flat
       fields of the OTA illumination pattern. A total of eight images were
       received and displayed. Four were underexposed, and four were
       saturated.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5562 (WF/PC-2 4 Calibration: Internal Monitor 3:
       Darks)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain a 30-minute long, dark exposure
       to provide ongoing calibration of the CCD dark current and to
       monitor and characterize the evolution of hot pixels. The
       observation was dumped from the spacecraft; but due to TAC problems
       the data was not received. A Line Outage Recorder (LOR) playback was
       requested. The observation was received and displayed. It was
       reported to be nominal.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5351 (Properties of Interstellar Redshift Galactic
       Disks Causing Damped Lyman Alpha)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations to study the diffuse
       material at intermediate redshifts that is identified by absorbing
       Lyman-Alpha spectrum from quasar 3C196.0. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to perform decontamination operations.
       Observations of standard  A+81D266, and K-Spot observations were
       also taken. The OSS monitored the observations, and assessed the
       data quality. No anomalies were noted.

   1.9 Completed FGS 5054 (High Speed Astrometry: A Search for Planetary
       Companions to Low-Mass Stars)

       The  Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make observations of the
       position of the star Proxima Centauri to determine the presence of a
       Jupiter sized planet in orbit about the target star. The OSS
       monitored the observations and assessed the data quality. No
       problems were reported.

   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
       pictures of a large number of fields within 30 degrees of the
       galactic plane. The intent is to determine the luminosity function
       of low mass stars and the mass density in the solar neighborhood.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       reported.

   1.11 Completed WF/PC-2 5173 (WF/PC-2 Images of Ejecta From Eta Carina)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the Eta-Carnea nebula
       to study its morphology and the dynamics of the stellar ejecta. Six
       observations were received and displayed. They were reported to be
       nominal.

   1.12 Completed Two Sets of GHRS/2 5398 (Eclipse Mapping of the
       Chromosphere and Transition Region Structure)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to obtain high signal to
       noise ratio spectra of the eclipsing binary star HR2554 (aka,
       HD50337) which is a known Zeta Aurigae-Type binary star. This system
       consists of a dwarf star and a G6 giant star. The light from the
       dwarf will be used as a probe of the outer atmosphere of the giant
       star. The first set of observations were executed in fine lock
       without apparent problems. However, the second set of observations
       were missing one observation. One observations appeared to run too
       long, and ran over into the time of the next observation. An HSTAR
       was written for the missing observation. Several recentering events
       were also reported.

   1.13 Completed WF/PC-2 5397 (Determination of the Extragalactic Distance
       Scale: Cycle 4 High)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of galaxy NGC-5457-FL to help
       establish the Hubble constant to an accuracy of better than 10% by
       measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxy.
       One image was received and displayed. It was reported to have had a
       total of 17 recentering events, for a total of 81 seconds. No other
       problems were noted.

   1.14 Completed FOC 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 GL866A. Two FOC images
       were received and displayed. It was reported that there appeared to
       have been an error in the stars coordinates.

   1.15 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. Two images were received and
       displayed. They both were reported to be nominal.

   1.16 Completed GHRS/2 5473 (The Interstellar Abundance of Krypton: Cycle
       4 High)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make observations of
       the star Kappa Orionis which is an O/B class star to study the
       abundance of Krypton to provide information about stellar
       nucleosynthesis and stellar evolution. Two observations were
       received and displayed. No anomalies were noted.

   1.17 Completed WF/PC-2 5454 (Ellipticals with Kinamatically Distinct
       Cores: Cycle 4 Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the small elliptical
       galaxy NGC-1700 which contains a massive core which is kinamatically
       distinct from the rest of the galaxy. The observations were executed
       as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.18 Completed S/C 5582 (FOC/48 Monthly Activation (Camera Section
       Only): Cycle 4)

        This proposal was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
        noted.

   1.19 Completed WF/PC-2 5098 (UV Spectra of Low Redshift QSOs: Cycle 4
       Observations)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make two ultraviolet images of the Low-Z
       quasi-stellar object 3C286 to obtain images and spectra of the
       surrounding galaxy. The observations were monitored by the OSS, and
       the data quality was assessed. No anomalies were noted.

   1.20 Completed WF/PC-2 5324 (Globular Cluster Core Imaging)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the center of globular
       cluster NGC-6624 to try and detect the flatting of the density
       profile which could result from binary heating and core
       oscillations. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.
