PERIOD COVERED:  0700 EST
Daily Status Report as of 194/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of FGS 5554 (HIPPARCOS Plate Scale: Cycle 4
       Calibration)

       FGS#3 was used to make astrometric observations of stars HIC52967,
       H74-897-REF, HIC44494, and H74-1270-REF which were observed by the
       HIPPARCOS satellite. The astrometric observations were monitored
       while telemetry was available. A stop flag was seen on observations
       from targets H74-897-ref, and H74-1270-REF. No other anomalies were
       noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5372 (HST Medium Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium: Low
       Galactic Latitude: C-R SPIT)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make low galactic latitude observations
       taken in parallel with the prime science observations. The
       observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.3 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 galaxy.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of 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 MARK1133 and F285. The observations were executed
       as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5370 (HST Medium Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium, High
       Galactic Latitude, C-R-SPILT)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to make high galactic latitude observations as part of a medium-deep
       sky survey. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed FOC/96 5477 (Spectral Index Mapping and Secular Changes
       in the Jet of M-87: Cycle 4 High)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make observations of the
       nucleus, jet, and counter-jet in galaxy M-87. The descision
       observations were received and displayed in real-time. Offsets were
       successfully calculated and uplinked to the space craft. It was
       later noted that the fiducial point on the aperture was slightly
       offset from the center of the field of view, so a second offset was
       uplinked to the spacecraft to place the target closer to the center
       of the field of view. An internal flat calibration image was also
       made.

   1.7 Completed FOS/BL 5095 (Spectra at Lambda <3000 Angstroms for QSOs
       with Z~2 (FOS 3): Cycle 4)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       ultraviolet spectral observations of the absorption lines and
       high-ionization emission lines in QSO PKS1559+17. The observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no problems were noted.
