PERIOD COVERED:  0700 EST
Daily Status Report as of 181/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two sets of WF/PC-2 5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio
       Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxies
       3C34.0 and 3C27.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the
       galaxies' morphology. The observations were executed as scheduled,
       and the data remains of Science Tape Recorder #3. It will be
       analyzed later.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5454 (Ellipticals With Kinematically Distinct
       Cores: Cycle 4 Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the small elliptical
       galaxy IC1459 which contains a massive core which is kinematically
       distinct from the rest of the galaxy. The observations were executed
       as scheduled. Fourteen observations were received and displayed.
       They were reported to be nominal. The 3X3 spiral search found the
       target on the sixth map. There were some recentering events
       reported.

   1.3 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-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. Two observations were received and displayed.
       They were reported to be okay. No anomalies were noted.

    1.4 Completed FOC/96 5330 (High Resolution Mapping of Pluto's Albedo
       Distribution)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make observations of the planet
       Pluto and its moon Charon in two bandpasses. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and the data remains on Science Tape Recorder
       #3. It will be analyzed later. No anomalies were noted.

   1.5 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 POX-52. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed FOS/RD 5539 (Cycle 4 FOS Photometric Monitor)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) used standard star 
BD+28D4211
       to calibrate the absolute sensitivity of its detectors. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

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