Daily Status Report as of 167/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5643 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 calibration: Partially
       Rotated Filters) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a visual flat calibration observation.
       The observation was received and displayed. It was reported to look
       as expected. 
 
   1.2 Completed FOC/96 5521 (FOC Geometric Correction and Plate Scale: 
       Cycle 4)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96)  was used to make observations of the
       globular Cluster 47 Tucanae (aka, NGC-104) to help study the plate 
       scale and geometric correction calibrations. Eleven images were
       received and displayed. They all were reported to look okay. 

   1.3 Completed FGS 5174 (Astrometric Companion Search: Cycle 4)

       FGS #3 was used to make astrometric observations of the possible
       binary dwarf star W-922 to look for an astrometric unseen low mass
       companion. The OSS monitored the observations and assessed the data
       quality. No problems were noted in the telemetry. 

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5565 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4: Photometric Calibration 
       Monitor: Fields)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric calibration observations by
       taking images of the large globular cluster Omega Centauri (aka,
       NGC-5139) to help determine astrometric and optical stability of the
       WF/PC-2. The observations remain on Science Tape Recorder #1, and
       will be analyzed later. No anomalies were noted. 

   1.5 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5562 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: 
       Monitor 3: Darks)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain several 30-minute long, dark
       exposures to provide ongoing calibration of the CCD dark current and
       to monitor and characterize the evolution of hot pixels. The
       observations remain on Science Tape Recorder #1, and will be
       analyzed later. 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-F
       as part of an effort to find Cepheids in this galaxy which has
       produced a Type I supernovae. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5655 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 2 Calibration: Internal 
       Monitor. 2: Flats Part 2)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a dark calibration observation. The 
       observation was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.8 Completed GHRS/1 5438 (Io's Atmosphere: UV Spectroscopy of Neutral 
       and Molecular Components)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make far
       ultraviolet spectrographic observations of Jupiter's moon Io. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.
