1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5508 (Tracking Features in Titan's Lower
       Atmosphere and on Its Surface)

       The WF/PC-2 obtained images of Saturn's noon Titan to look for cloud
       features, and possibly surface features.  The observations completed
       with no reported errors.

   1.2 Completed GHRS/2 5550 (GHRS Telescope Breathing Monitor: Cycle 4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side 2) was used to obtain
       spectra (SSA), and images (LSA) using standard star HD333282.
       Wavelength calibration observations were also taken. The
       observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5419 (A Search for Very
       Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei in Nearby Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-3718, which
       is known to have ultraviolet bright, low-luminosity, active galactic
       nuclei. The observations were completed as planned, and no problems
       were reported.

   1.4 Completed FGS 5336 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic
       Reference Frame: NEWHIP-B)

       The Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was  used to make astrometric
       observations of objects NEWEGOB-17, 120-REF,121-REF, 122-REF, and
       NEWHIP-17. The observations were executed as scheduled. No anomalies
       were reported.

   1.5 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.

   1.6 Completed FGS 5756 (Binary Plate Scale: Cycle 4 Calibration -
       Corrected)

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make POS and TRANS mode
       astrometric observations of the binary star GSC2387-53 to calibrate
       the plate scale for the inner region of the field-of-view for FGS
       #3. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies
       were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5372 (HST Medium-Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium, Low
       Galactic Latitude, C-R Split)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make low galactic latitude observations
       taken in parallel with the prime science observations. The
       observations were completed as scheduled in fine lock without
       apparent anomaly.

   1.8 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.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5402 (Multiple Arc Systems in X-Ray Selected
       Clusters: Cycle 4 Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain deep exposures of the X-Ray bright
       galaxy cluster MS0440.5+0 to look for gravitationally lensed objects
       that might be seen in the cluster. The observations completed with
       no reported errors.

   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.
