Daily Status Report as of 293/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxies
       3C236.0 and 3C266.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the
       galaxies' morphology. The observations were executed as scheduled,
       and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed 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-3319 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 Complete 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.

   1.4 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 MARK1073 and MARK516 to study the
       interactions between the central engine, the stars, and the
       interstellar matter in their AGNs. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 1070 (High Resolution Imaging of Radio Galaxies at
       Large Redshift)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep images of radio galaxy 3C470 to
       study the evolution of its stellar population and to look for star
       formation. The observations were completed as planned, and no
       anomalies were reported.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5485 (Long Period Variables of M81)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the long period
       variables in galaxy M-81 (aka, NGC-3031) to compare to those already
       studied in our galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds to learn how much of
       a role is played by the environment in which these stars form. The
       observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5143 (Observations of Galaxies Underlying Quasars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the low redshift quasar
       Q0844+37 to study the morphology of the underlying galaxy. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported.

   1.8 Completed HRS/2 5468 (The Mass of the White Dwarf of V471 Tauri:
       Cycle 4 Medium)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to observe the
       white dwarf in the eclipsing binary system, V471 Tau.  The
       observations were made when the target was at position of greatest
       elongation on the side of the companion star.  The target's velocity
       curve was found from the strong Lyman Alpha absorption, and will be
       used to calculate the mass.  The observations completed with no
       reported problems.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5568 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Decon)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make an internal flat field calibration
       observation using the VIS lamp and the internal source as part of a
       decontamination operation. Dark calibration images were also taken.
       The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were
       reported.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5630 (Luminous Stars in Old Stellar Populations)

        The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of M-32 to study its
        luminous stars which are located in old stellar populations. The
        observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
        noted.

   1.11 Completed WF/PC-2 5235 (Structures of Quasars and Related Objects
       (WC10): Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make long exposure observations of quasar
       3C345. The objective is to study the structure of the quasar and the
       underlying galaxy, and any associated galaxies, jets, and
       gravitational lenses. The observations were completed as planned,
       and no problems were reported.
