1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

    1.1 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.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5629 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Photometric Calibration
       Monitor 1C: 4-Chip STD in F170W)

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

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of 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.

   1.4 Completed FGS 4884 (High Speed Astrometry: A Search for Astrometric
       Companions to Low Mass Stars)

       The FGSs were used to make observations of Barnard's star to look
       for astrometric companions (i.e., a Jupiter-sized companion). The
       observations were completed as planned, and no problems were
       reported.

   1.5 Complete Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5329 (Coordinated Observations of
       Neptune's Aerosols: Temporal, Vertical)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain images of the planet Neptune to look
       for cloud features, including the Great Dark Spot, and to look for
       temporal variations in the features. The observations were completed
       as planned, and no problems were reported.

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

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations to obtain data
       needed to measure the HIPPARCOS reference frame with respect to the
       extragalactic reference frame. (Stars: 0153+744IN, 420-REF, 421-REF,
       422-REF, INCA221-15) The observations were executed as scheduled,
       and no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 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.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5453 (Deep WF Imaging of the Giant Luminous Arc in
       CL0024+16)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the rich cluster of
       galaxies known as CL0024+16 which contains several luminous arcs,
       which are presumably caused by gravitational lensing of a background
       galaxy. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.9 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.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2  5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy 3C459.0
       as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

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

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

   1.12 Completed GHRS/2 5163 (Transitions in Very Late M Dwarfs Cycle
       Later Observations)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to obtain the
       spectra of the M dwarf star GL752B, to look for emission lines due
       to C II, Si IV, C IV, and N V, produced in the transition region.
       The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were
       reported.
