1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy 3C180.0
       and 3C452.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's
       morphology. The first observations was received and displayed, and
       it was reported to be nominal. The second observations was executed
       as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.2 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. Three
       observations occurred during LOS. Of the seven that occurred during
       AOS, one failed to find the target.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5562 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 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 image was received
       and displayed in the OSS. It was reported to be nominal.

   1.4 Completed GHRS/1 5543 (GHRS Side 1 Line Spread Function: Cycle 4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to try and make
       observations of standard star HD141556. The base line guide star
       acquisition failed completely. Therefore, the onboard target
       acquisition did not occur. (See Section 2.1)

   1.5 Completed FOC/96 5521 (FOC Geometric Correction and Plate Scale:
       Cycle 4)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to attempt to make observations of
       globular cluster 47 Tucanae (aka, NGC-104) to help determine the
       post-COSTAR plate scale calibration. However, the observations did
       not executed, because of a failed guide star acquisition. (See
       Section 2.1)

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to attempt to make make high galactic latitude observations as part
       of a medium-deep sky survey. The four scheduled observations failed
       because of a failed guide star acquisition. The shutter toggled, but
       did not remain open for the planned duration of the exposure. (See
       Section 2.1)

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5475 (A Snapshot Survey for Blue Stragglers in
       Magellanic Cluster Cores)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make short exposure snapshot images of the
       blue straggler stars located in populous clusters NGC-2164. The
       observations were executed as scheduled. The observations still
       remain on Science Tape Recorder #1, and will be analyzed alter. No
       anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed FOS/RD 5634 (Velocity Dispersion in Nucleus of M-87
       (Repeat): Cycle 4 FOS ERO)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to map the stellar
       velocity dispersion and rotation in the nucleus of M-87 (aka,
       NGC-4486). The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies have been noted.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5369 (HST Medium-Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium, High
       Galactic Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 made a series of observations of high latitude objects
       as part of a medium deep sky survey. The observations were taken in
       parallel with other prime science observations. The observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies have been noted.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

    2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions:

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 6
                                        Successful : 4

                            Acquisitions failed at 124/1636Z and 2045Z

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 9
                                        Successful : 4

                            Reacquisitions failed at 124/1811Z, 2011Z,
                            2348Z, 125/0123Z, and 0301Z.



       Two separate events appears to have occurred. The first was a
       possible attitude error caused by the saving of a wrong V1 bias
       which effected an acquisition around 124/1636Z. The second event was
       caused by the selection of a guide star which was possibly too dim
       at 124/2040Z. Both of these events had cascading effects on other
       observations. The problems are currently under investigation.


   2.2 FHST Updates:

                              Scheduled :13
                             Successful :12

                            Loss of Lock at 124/1546Z

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Notes:

       Onboard HST subsystems experienced no anomalous behavior in the last
       twenty-four hours.  However, as detailed above, guide star
       acquisition, FHST update, and loss of lock problems affected both
       science and astrometry observations. (See Section 2.1)
