1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5761 (Narrow Band Imagery of a Gamma Ray Nova)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain images of a newly discovered gamma
       ray nova, looking for signs of the high velocity gas that was seen
       by the VLA. The observation completed nominally with no reported
       errors.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5562 (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.

   1.3 Completed FGS 5749 (A Critical Test of the Galactic Escape Velocity
       at R (Sun))

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to perform POS mode astrometry of a
       high proper motion star, G16-25, and reference stars, determining
       parallax and improved proper motion.  The parallax will make it
       possible to determine the distance to the star more accurately,
       which in turn will lead to an improved estimate of the tangential
       component of its velocity.  The proposal completed with no reported
       errors.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5370 (Medium Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium High
       Galactic Latitude - CR - Split)

       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 HRS/2 5360 (Mass Loss and Iron Curtain in Symbiotic
       Systems)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make
       observations of symbiotic system PU-VUL. A total of nine
       observations were monitored in the OSS. No anomalies were noted.

   1.6 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 NGC-3982 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.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5423 (The Tucana Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the local group Tucana
       Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy. The observations were completed as planned,
       and no anomalies were reported.
