1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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 received and displayed. No anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed FOC/96 5146 (UV Observations of Globular Clusters)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make observations of the core of
       dense globular cluster NGC-7078. A total of fifteen observations was
       received and displayed. They all were reported to have the target
       off-center. Also, there were some recentering events reported.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5092 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel
       Program: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations taken in parallel with the
       prime science observations. This is part of a survey to take
       pictures of a large number of fields within 30 degrees of the
       galactic plane. Eleven images were received and displayed as
       scheduled. Ten of the images were reported to look okay. There were
       some recentering events reported. One observation was reported to
       have had a reduced exposure time due the Take Data Flag (TDF) going
       down due to a Loss of Lock (LOL).

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5643 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 45 Calibration:
       Partially Rotated Filters)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make four visual flat observations. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and all four observations
       were received and displayed. One was underexposed, two were
       saturated, and one was okay.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5216 (Io's Volcanic Surface and Atmosphere)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet images of the trailing
       hemisphere (i.e., Western hemisphere) of Jupiter's moon Io. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and a total of eleven
       images was received and displayed. They all were reported to look
       okay.

   1.6 Completed Two Sets of 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 galaxies
       NGC-4496-A-F and 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 no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.7 Completed Two 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. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 1070 (High Resolution of Radio Galaxies at Large
       Redshifts)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep images of radio galaxy 3C368 to
       study the evolution of its stellar population. Six images were
       received and displayed. They all were reported to be okay.

   1.9 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-7331 to be used in
       measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxies.
       Four images were received and displayed. They all were reported to
       look okay.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5423 (The Tucana Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the Tucana Dwarf
       Spheroidal Galaxy. A total of eleven observations was received and
       displayed in the OSS. They all were reported to look okay.

   1.11 Completed FGS 4884 (High Speed Astrometry: A Search for Planetary
       Companions to Low Mass Stars)

       The FGSs were used to make observations of Barnard's star to look
       for astrometric companions (i.e., a Jupiter-sized companion). The
       baseline guide star acquisition and the astrometry occurred
       completely during LOS, and therefore, it was not monitored.
       The spacecraft was in Earth occultation when the telemetry returned,
       so it was not possible to verify that the guide star acquisition had
       been successful. No anomalies were noted.

   1.12 Completed WF/PC-2 5384 (Resolved and Composite Properties of the
        Giant H II Regions of M-33)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of H II regions within
       galaxy M-33 known as M33-NEB1 and M33-NEB7. A total of ten
       observations was received and displayed. They all were reported to
       look nominal, however, some recentering events were reported.
