1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5465 (WF/PC-2 Imaging of Two Galaxy Clusters at
       Z=1.2) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep images of galaxy cluster 3C324 at
       Z=1.2. The observations were executed as scheduled, and four
       observations were received and displayed in the OSS. They were
       reported to look okay. 

   1.2 Completed Three 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. A total of 11 images was
       received. Four of the images were reported to be saturated. Another
       four of the observations were reported to have had missing data. An
       expected track change of the Science Tape Recorder (STR) caused the
       data loss in one of the observations. In an attempt to received the
       rest of the missing data, an LOR of the STR #3 dump was requested.
       It was received, but there was even more missing data. The MOSES
       Shift Supervisor reported that NGT had reported a data dropout part
       way through the dump. So, it appears that the data cannot be
       recovered. The DCF was also missing data on the playback of the
       original dump and the LOR. 

   1.3 Completed Three Sets FOS/BL 5535 (Cycle 4 Internal Wavelength 
       Calibration)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make internal calibration
       observations to monitor the stability of the wavelength scale for
       different gratings. Fourteen observations were received and
       displayed. They were reported to be okay. 

   1.4 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, K-Spot, and flat
       calibration observations to monitor the CCD camera electronics, the
       optical alignment, and to check for contamination. A total of ten
       images was taken. Four of the internal flat observations were
       reported to be underexposed. In addition, part of one of the
       observations was lost due to an expected STR track change. 

   1.5 Completed FOS/RD 5441 (The Inner Regions of Quasars)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make observations
       of the variable quasar PKS1656+05. The observations were executed as
       scheduled. Two observations were received and displayed. They were
       reported to look okay. The target was reported to be initially
       pretty well centered. 

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

       The WF/PC-2 made a observation of high latitude objects as part of a
       medium deep sky survey. The observation was taken in parallel with
       other prime science observations. It as received and displayed, and
       it was reported to look okay.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5643 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Partially 
       Rotated Filters)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make visual flat observations. The
       observations was executed as scheduled. Four observations were
       examined. As is usual with quadrant filters, portions of each image
       were underexposed, and portions were saturated. 
 
   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 1070 (High Resolution Imaging of Radio Galaxies at 
       Large Redshift)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep images of radio galaxy 3C34. Four
       images were received and displayed. They all were reported to be
       okay. 

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a snapshot observation of the nearby
       active galactic nuclei of UM-146. The observation was received and
       displayed. It was reported to be okay. 

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5446 (The Nuclei of Nearby S0 and Spiral Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-4380. The
       observations were executed as scheduled. Two observations were
       received and displayed. They both were reported to look okay. 

   1.11 Completed Two Set of FOS/BL 5528 (FOS Cycle 4 Focus, X-Pitch, and 
       Y-Pitch)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Sides) was used to make both a
       TALED and WAVE calibration observations. No external sources were
       used. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies
       were noted. 

   1.12 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 in this galaxy which has produced

       observations were received and displayed. They were reported to look
       okay. 

   1.14 Completed FOC/96 5139 (A Search to Low Mass Companions to Nearby 
       Astrometic Binaries)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to to search for faint
       companions near the astrometric binary star GL-623. Two FOC images
       were received and displayed. They both were reported to look okay. 

   1.15 Completed GHRS/1 5541 (GHRS Side 1 Dark Noise Monitor: Cycle 4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make routine
       detector dark noise calibration observations. These were internal
