1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5446 (The Nuclei of Nearby S0 and
       Spiral Galaxies: A PC Snapshot Imaging)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the core region of
       galaxies NGC-4861, NGC-6744, and NGC-4772 to provide statistics on
       their nuclear cups, stellar condensations, and inner stellar disks
       and dust lanes. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed GHRS/2 5094 (Composition of Gas in Individual Interstellar
       Clouds: Cycle 4 Observations)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side 2) was used to look for
       interstellar absorption lines in the star Eta Lup (aka, HD143118) to
       determine the column densities of a number of atomic species in the
       cloud. The observations were executed as scheduled. A guide star
       reacquisition did not place the target back into the small science
       aperture. As a result, a significant fraction of six observations
       contained no signal from the target. No other anomalies were noted.

   1.3 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. The observations
       were completed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.

   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 SZ80 to study the interactions between the
       central engine, the stars, and the interstellar matter in the AGN.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.5 Completed GHRS/2 5601 (GHRS ECH-A Wavelength Monitor: Cycle 4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make Echelle-B spectral
       calibration observations using lamp #2. The observations were
       completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.6 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5569 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration:
       Internal Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make flat field calibration images with the
       VIS lamp, and with the internal source. The observations were 
completed
       as panned, and no problems were reported.

   1.7 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5105 (Stellar Population in the
       Galactic Bulge (WC02): Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to observe stars in the Galactic Bulge
       (FIELD18031 and FIELD18032 ). The objective is to extend the
       color-magintude diagram and luminosity function of the stars in the
       bulge. Omega Cen (aka, NGC-5139) was also observed to provide point
       spread function data. The observations were executed as scheduled,
       and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed FOS/RD/BL 5431 (FOS Observations of Liner Galaxy Nuclei:
       Ultraviolet Clues)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Both Red and Blue Side) was used to
       obtain ultraviolet spectra of the inner region of galaxy NGC-6500
       looking for emission lines, stellar absorption lines, and continua.
       The observations were executed as planned. The HST underwent one
       recentering event, during which the HST's pointing was controlled by
       gyros.

   1.9 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5571 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration:
       Earthflats, Smaller Set)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make several ultraviolet and narrow-band
       filter Earth flat calibration observations to correct for the
       telescope's illumination pattern. The observations were completed as
       planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.10 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5369 (HST Medium-Deep Survey: Cycle
        4 Medium High Gal. 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 completed as planned. Four recentering events were reported for
       a total of 13 seconds, and no other problems were reported.

   1.11 Completed Two Sets of FOS/RD 5588 (FOS Prism Snapshot Survey)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make a Prism
       observation of quasi-stellar object NGC-6500 to study its optical to
       ultraviolet continuum shape. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.12 Completed FGS 5587 (Parallaxes of Hyades Cluster Members: Cycle 4
       High)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make observations of stars in
       the Hyades Cluster (i.e., PCEN548, AST102-REF, VA548, AST96-REF,
       AST97-REF, AST98-REF, AST99-REF, AST100-REF, and AST101-REF) to
       determine the parallax of the stars and to compute the distance
       modulus of the cluster. The observations were completed as planned,
       and no problems were reported.

   1.13 Completed FOS/BL 5492 (Detection of the Intergalactic Medium Using
       Gunn-Peterson HEII304A Absorption Line)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       observations of Quasi-Stellar Object 194025 to search for redshifted
       304A line (absorption) of He II in the spectrum. The observations
       were completed as scheduled. Th HST underwent two recentering
       events, during which the HST's pointing was controlled by gyros.

   1.14 Completed FGS 5333 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic
       Reference frame: BR12-23, Part 2)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of several stars
       (i.e., 2128-123IN, 920-REF, 922-REF, INCA221-13, 2201_315IN,
       8020-REF, 8021-REF, INCA221-17, and 8022-REF ) whose apparent
       positions lie near extragalactic objects. All of these objects have
       been observed by the HIPPARCOS satellite. The intent is to tie the
       HIPPARCOS reference frame to the extragalactic reference frame. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

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

       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 completed as planned, and no
       problems were reported.

   1.16 Completed FGS 5174 (Astrometric Companions Search: Cycle 4)

       FGS #3 was used to make astrometric observations of the possible
       binary dwarf star W1062 to look for an astrometric unseen low mass
       companion. The OSS monitored the observations and assessed the data
       quality. No anomalies were noted.

   1.17 Completed 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. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       problems were reported.

   1.18 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5321 (Recovery of the Inner of
       Uranu: Cycle 4 Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations near the planet Uranus to
       try to find satellites which have not been observed since they were
       discovered by Voyager 2 in 1986. Their positions are very uncertain.
       The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were
       reported.

   1.19 Completed WF/PC-2 5343 (WFC Imaging of Nearby Bright Quasars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of the bright quasar PKS2135-14
       and its host galaxy. The goal is to study the morphology of this
       galaxy, and to see how it differs from non-QSO galaxies. They also
       will be looking for the relationship between the properties of the
       host galaxy and the luminosity of the quasar. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.20 Completed GHRS/2 5625 (GHRS Side 2 Carrousel Functional Test: Cycle
       4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to repeat the
       carrousel functional test which run during OV to help determine if
       there has been any change in the carrousel response. One
       observation was received in the OSS, and it was reported to be
       nominal.

   1.21 Completed S/C 5582 (FOC/48 Monthly Activation (Camera Section
       Only): Cycle 4)

        This proposal was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
        noted.
