1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FGS 5657 (Duplicity Among Hyades Stars: Cycle 4 High)

       The FGSs (TRANS-Mode) were used to make astrometric observations of
       star VA282 located in the Hyades cluster in an attempt to find a 
close
       binary. 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 WF/PC-2 5378 (Morphological Evolution of Galaxies in
       Clusters at Z = 0.5)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy GAL-CLUS-0 to
       study its morphology. The exposure time was 1200 seconds. The
       observations were completed as planned, and no problems were 
reported.

   1.4 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.

   1.5 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.

   1.6 Completed Two 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
       galaxy NGC-1249 to provide statistics on the nuclear cups, stellar
       condensations, and inner stellar disks and dust lanes. The 
observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5114 (Stellar Formation and Evolution (WC14):
       Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make multi-color observations of the Herbig
       Haro object HH34-PI. The structure of the HH object will be 
determined on
       smaller scales than is possible from ground based observations. The
       observations were completed as planned, and no problems were 
reported.

   1.8 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 NGC-2377, MARK1127, and MARK171 to study 
the
       interactions between their central engine, the stars, and the
       interstellar matter in their AGNs. For both sets the guide star
       acquisition and re-acquisitions failed.  All nine observations were
       reported as failed.  HSTAR 4913 was generated for these occurrences.

   1.9 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5447 (The Nature of Primeval Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep polarization observations of the
       distant, massive galaxy 4C23.56 to look for molecular gas, dust, and 
star
       formation. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no 
anomalies
       were noted.  Some observational data was lost due to anticipated
       overwrites on the tape recorder, and occurred with SPSS concurrence.
       HSTAR 4914 was written to cover this event.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5562 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal
       Monitor 3: Darks)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain several 30-minute long, dark
       exposures to provide ongoing calibration of the CCD dark current and 
to
       monitor and characterize the evolution of hot pixels. The 
observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.11 Completed WF/PC-2 5211 (High Resolution Imaging of Nearby Nuclear
       Starbursts)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of nearby starburst galaxy
       NGC-253. The observations were completed as planned, and no 
anomalies
       were reported.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of the bright quasar PKS2349-01
       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 completed as
       planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.13 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.

   1.14 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 galaxy 3C93.1
       as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology. 
The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were 
noted.

   1.15 Completed WF/PC-2 5210 (Extragalactic H II Region and the
        Interstellar Medium)

        The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy M-101 to look
        for extra-galactic H II regions in the outer part of the galaxy to
        determine their characteristics. The observations were completed as
        planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.16 Completed FGS 5135 (Extragalactic Astrometry and Astrophysics, 
FT0-11,
       Part 1 of Two)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations (of stars
       0537-441IN, 920-REF, 921-REF, 922-REF, INCA221-35) to obtain data 
needed
       to measure the HIPPARCOS reference frame with respect to the
       extragalactic reference frame. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.17 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5091 (GTO High Latitude Parallel
       Program: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to make high galactic latitude observations greater than +/-30 
degrees.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported.

   1.18 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5475 (A Snapshot Survey for Blue
       Stragglers in Magellanic Cluster Cores)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make short exposure snapshot images of the
       blue straggler stars located in populous cluster SL506. The intent 
is to
       find out if blue straggler stars exist within this cluster. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were 
noted.

   1.19 Completed 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 planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.20 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., 2200+420IN, 1040-REF, 1041-REF, 1042-REF, and INCA221-17) 
whose
       apparent position lies 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.

   1.21 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.

   1.22 Completed WF/PC-2 5403 (X-Ray Emitting Planetary Nebulae: Cycle 4
       High)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the X-ray emitting
       planetary nebulae NGC-6543 to look for sub-arcsecond structure such 
as
       radiative shocks, cometary structures, bow-shocks and wind-blown 
tails.
       The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       reported.
