1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5221 (The Vertical Structure of the
       Atmosphere of Neptune)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the Planet Neptune to
       study the structure and composition of the clouds and haze in the
       upper regions of its atmosphere. The observations were executed as
       scheduled. During the first two sets of observations a total of ten
       images was received. They were reported to be okay. One of the
       observations encountered a recentering event. The third set of
       observations was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed FOS/RD 5455 (The Level of Ionization and Chemical
       Composition of QSO BAL Region Gas)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make
       ultraviolet observations of quasi-stellar object (QSO) Q0059-2735
       which is known to have broad absorption lines (BALs). The first
       observations was received in real-time, and it was reported to look
       okay. It located the target in seven groups. The next four
       observations were nominal.

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

       The WF/PC-2 made a series of observations of high latitude objects
       as part of a medium deep sky survey. The observations were taken in
       parallel with other prime science observations. Four observations
       were received and displayed. They were reported to look nominal.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot observations of the nearby
       active galactic nuclei of SBS1122+61. The observations were executed
       as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 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 a Type I supernovae. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and observations remain on Science Tape Recorder #1. They
       will be analyzed later. No anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5494 (Stellar Winds of Massive Stars in Nearby
       Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of one bright star OB78-2 
in
       galaxy M-33, and two bright stars OB21-1 and OB 2-4 in galaxy M-31.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the core of nearby
       galaxy NGC-3189. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5419 (A Search for Very Low Luminosity Active
       Galactic Nuclei in nearby Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-4192, which 
is
       known to have a ultraviolet bright, low-luminosity, active galactic
       nuclei. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.9 Completed GHRS/2 5360 (Mass Loss and Iron Curtain in Symbiotic
       Systems)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make
       observations of symbiotic system EG-And. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
