PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z
Daily Status Report as of 265/0000Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5563 (Photometric Standard Stars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric calibration images of
       ultraviolet standard star GRW+70D582 and to monitor the photometric
       stability and quantum efficiency of the WF/PC-2. The observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5446 (Nearby SO and Spiral Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the core region of 
galaxy
       NGC-4818 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.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5562 (WF/PC-2 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.

   1.4 Completed FOS/BL 5581 (Pulsating White Dwarf DN Draconis)

       The FOS (Blue Side) was used in the rapid mode to cover the 17.1 
hour
       beat period of the pulsating DA white dwarf DN Draconis (aka 
G226-29) to
       determine the index of the pulsational mode which will allow for the
       outer hydrogen layer to be determined.  The observations completed
       nominally with no reported problems.

   1.5 Completed FGS 5657 (Duplicity Among Hyades Stars)

       The FGSs (TRANS-Mode) were used to make astrometric observations of 
star
       VA52 located in the Hyades cluster in an attempt to find a close 
binary.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5092 (GTO Low Latitude Parallels)

       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.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5571 (Earth Flats, 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.

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 5356 (Observations of Beta Pic)

       The HRS was used to observe Beta Pic and its disk at various
       distances from the central star.  Both apertures were used to aid in
       isolating the disk from the star's light.  The observations
       completed nominally with no reported problems.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5202 (The Disk of Beta Pictoris)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to observe Beta Pictoris (aka HD39060) to image
       the disk.  The image will be saturated, but blooming is expected to
       be limited to the region within one arcsecond of the center, in the
       perpendicular direction.  Investigators are expected to learn about
       the radial profile, albedo and temperature of the disk.  The
       observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.
