1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5561 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal
       Monitor. 2: Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet and visual flat
       calibration images to monitor flat field stability and the stability
       of the analog-to-digital converters. The ultraviolet flat was
       reported to show "worms", and the other five observations were
       reported to be saturated.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain two 30-minute long, dark exposures
       to provide ongoing calibration of the CCD dark current and to
       monitor and characterize the evolution of hot pixels. Both
       observations were received and displayed in the OSS. They both were
       reported to look nominal.

   1.3 Completed FOS/RD 5536 (Cycle 4 FOS Wavelength Calibration:
       Internal/External Offsets)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) made both internal and
       external wavelength calibration observations. NGC-6833 was the
       external source. The baseline guide-star acquisition achieved fine
       lock before a LOS. The first peakup and most of the second one
       occurred during LOS. No anomalies were noted. Most of the data still
       remains on Science Tape Recorder #3, and will be analyzed later.

   1.4 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. The observation was reported
       to be nominal. Other observations were taken as scheduled, and the
       data remains on Science Tape Recorder #3.

   1.5 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 UGC-5889 which itself is 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. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5427 (Calibration of Nearby Galaxy Type IA
       Supernovae as Standard Candles)


       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of nearby galaxy
       NGC-4496-A-F as part of an effort to find Cepheids which have
       produced type I supernovae. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5479 (Subarcsecond Structure in Nearby AGNs)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations to study the nearby active
       galactic nuclei of MARK-1210. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.


   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5208 (Star Formation Histories and Stellar
       Populations in the Local Group)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the Large Magellanic
       Cloud-Halo as part of a program to study stellar populations in the
       outer regions of galaxies. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
