1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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. An internal flat
       calibration observation was also taken. Thirteen images were
       received and displayed. There were some recenterings reported.
       Additional data still remains on Science Tape Recorder #1, and will
       be analyzed later.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5655 (WF/PC2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal
       Monitor. 2: Flats Part 2)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make visual flat calibration observations.
       Eight images were received and displayed. Six were reported to be
       nominal, and two were underexposed.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of nearby galaxy
       NGC-4536-FI 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 data remains on Science Tape Recorder #1.
       It will be analyzed later.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5570 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 3 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.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make visual flat calibration observations.
       The observations was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of galaxy NGC-4321 to be used in
       measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxies.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.
