PERIOD COVERED:  0700 EST
Daily Status Report as of 124/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5369 (HST Medium_Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium: High
       Galactic Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 made an observation of high latitude objects as part of
       a medium deep sky survey. The observation was taken in parallel with
       other prime science observations, and it was received and displayed.
       No anomalies were noted.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of galaxies NGC-5457-FL, and
       NGC-4321 to help establish the Hubble constant to an accuracy of
       better than 10% by measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars
       within the galaxies. The first image was received and displayed, and
       it was reported to be okay, except for some recentering. The second
       observation still remains on the Science Tape Recorder #3, and will
       be analyzed later. No anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed  GHRS/2 5591 (GHRS Side 2 "Locate= Extended" Test: Cycle
       4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to test new software that
       will allow the use of more than the two standard diodes during the X
       balancing in the locate phase of the target acquisition. The
       observations were received and examined. The target was poorly
       centered, or absent, in all of the images. Further analysis is
       needed to determine the success of these observations.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy 3C270.0
       as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology.
       Two images were received and displayed. Both were reported to look
       okay.

   1.5 Completed FOS/BL 5579 (Cycle 4 Test: To Determine FOS Polarimetry
       Mode)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make internal
       calibration observations of its polarization capabilities. Six
       observations were executed as scheduled. They all were received and
       displayed. No anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5454 (Ellipticals with Kinematically Distinct
       Cores: cycle 4 Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make an observation of the small elliptical
       galaxy NGC-4365 which contains a massive core which is kinematically
       distinct from the rest of the galaxy. The observation was executed
       as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. The image was reported
       to look fine.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5238 (Asteroids (WC16): Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the asteroid
       18-MELPOME. The observations were executed as scheduled, and the
       science data remains on Science Tape Recorder #3. It will be
       analyzed later. No anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5446 (The Nuclei of Nearby S0 and
       Spiral Galaxies: A PC Snapshot Imaging)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-4818. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and the science data
       remains on Science Tape Recorder #3. It will be analyzed later. No
       anomalies were noted.

   1.9 Completed Two Sets of 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. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed 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 galaxy NGC-3368 which itself is located in the M-96
       galaxy cluster. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.11 Completed WF/PC-2 1070 (High Resolution Imaging of Radio Galaxies
        at Large Redshifts)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep images of radio galaxy 3C226. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.
