1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FGS 5752 (Monitor the Long Term Stability of FGS #3:
       Revised)

       The FGS #3 will be used to make a large number of observations of
       stars located in open cluster M-35 (i.e., OF41-REF, OF77-REF,
       OF49-REF, OF23-REF, OF4-REF, OF10-REF, OF53-REF, OF36-REF, OF24-REF,
       OF14-REF, OF95-REF, OF84-REF, OF83-REF OF52-REF, OF54-REF, OF56-REF,
       OF64-REF, OF87-REF, OF80-REF, OF85-REF, OF41-REF, OF16-REF,
       OF40-REF, OF47-REF, and OF99-REF). This is a continuation of 
Proposal
       # 5118, looking for long term changes in the geometric distortion
       and plate scale. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.2 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 completed as planned, and no
       problems were reported.

   1.3 Completed FOC/96 5301 (Structure and Populations of Globular
       Clusters)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make observations of the
       large globular cluster NGC-5139 to make images of its core and two
       fields farther from the center. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 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.

   1.5 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 IR1305-241, IC4329A, and NGC-5135 to study
       the interactions between the central engine, the stars, and the
       interstellar matter in there AGNs. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed FOS/RD 5638 (High Resolution Observations of Nova CYG 92:
       Cycle 4)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red side) will be used to make low
       resolution spectral observations of Nova Cygni 1992 to determine the
       metal abundance and physical conditions in the nova ejecta. The
       observations were executed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.
   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5371 (HST Medium_ Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium Low
       Galactic Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to make low galactic latitude deep multicolor images of objects such
       as galaxies, and stars in our galaxy. The observations were
       completed as planned, and no other problems were reported.

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 5168 (Io Proton Aurora? : Cycle 4 Medium)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make
       observations of Jupiter's moon Io while it is immersed in the plasma
       torus. The objective is to search for Lyman-Alpha emission caused by
       protons trapped in Jupiter's magnetosphere, and interacting with Io.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.9 Completed FGS 5134 (Extragalactic Astrometry and Astrophysics:
       FT12-23, Part 2 of 2)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of five
       different stars (i.e., 2300-683IN, 2220-REF, 2221-REF, 2222-REF,
       INCA221-15) to tie the HIPPARCOS and extragalactic reference frames
       together. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed 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.

   1.11 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-925 to be used in
       measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxy.
       The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were
       noted.
