1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5568 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration:
       Decon)

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

   1.2 Completed Four Sets of FOS/BL 5444 (A UV Spectral Library of Metal-
       Poor Massive Stars)

       The FOS (Blue Side) was used for snapshot programs to obtain
       ultraviolet spectra of AV207 a metal-poor star in the LMC.  It will
       be useful for stellar atmosphere and stellar evolution studies. The
       observations completed without incident.

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

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side 2) was used to observe the
       white dwarf in the eclipsing binary system, V471 Tau.  The
       observations were made when the target was at positions of greatest
       elongations on the side of the companion star.  The target's
       velocity curve will be found from the strong Lyman Alpha absorption,
       and will be used to calculate the mass. There was one reported
       carrousel reset event at 296/1301Z. There was enough time delay that
       one observation did not execute.

   1.4 Completed FGS 5657 (Duplicity Among Hyades Stars: Cycle 4 High)

       The FGSs (TRANS-Mode) were used to make astrometric observations of
       stars VA282, VA366, VA351 and VA502 located in the Hyades cluster in
       an attempt to find a close binary. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5655 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration:
       Internal Monitor. 2: Flats Part 2)

        The WF/PC-2 was used to make both ultraviolet and visual flats. The
        observations were completed as planned, and no problems were
        reported.

   1.6 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 MARK937, MARK279, 1034+06 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.

   1.8 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.

   1.9 Completed GHRS/1 5594 (GHRS Side 1 Sensitivity Monitor: Cycle 4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make
       calibration observations of star BD28D4211 to monitor the long-term
       sensitivity of the system. The observations were completed as
       planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.10 Completed GHRS/2 5599 (GHRS Side 2 Sensitivity Monitor: Cycle 4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make some long term
       sensitivity monitorings by making observations of standard star
       BD+28D4211. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.11 Completed WF/PC-2 5401 (Luminosities and Morphologies of a Complete
       3CR Sample of Radio Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain images of radio galaxy 3C237, which
       has a Z near 1.0, and also is a quasar. These observations will be
       used to determine and compare luminosities, and morphologies in the
       optical and infrared. The observations were executed as scheduled,
       and no anomalies were noted.

   1.12 Completed Two Sets of FOS/RD 5452 (Composition of Dark Material in
       Iapetus: cycle 4 Medium)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make
       observations of Saturn's moon Iapetus, which has a bright hemisphere
       and a dark hemisphere. Ultraviolet spectra of both hemispheres were
       taken. Spectra of Saturn's moon Rhea was also taken for comparison.
       The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.13 Completed WF/PC-2 5233 (Stellar Populations and Clusters in
       Elliptical Galaxies (WC08))

       NGC-221 to study its stellar population. There was one reported
       recentering event which lasted for a total of five seconds. No other
       anomalies were noted.

   1.14 Completed WF/PC-2 5505 (Deep Probes of Gravitational Lens Systems)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep images of of the elliptical galaxy
       BRI0952-01 which is a member of the Coma Cluster. The intent is to
       improve our understanding of the stellar populations in ellipticals
       and to determine the distance to the Coma Cluster. The observations
       were completed and planned, and no problems were noted.

   1.15 Completed GHRS/2 5671 (GHRS Dark Noise Monitor: Cycle 4)

        The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make dark

       within the galaxy NGC-3368 which itself is located in the M-96
       galaxy cluster. This is to help determine the distance to this
       galactic group, and to improve the determination of the Hubble
       constant. The observations were completed as planned, and no
       anomalies were reported.

       galactic halos. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.18 Completed WF/PC-2 5353 (Low-Mass Binaries in the Hyades: Cycle 4 
High)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of the low-mass, late M-Class
       dwarf star RHY047 which is located in the Hyades cluster. Some of
       the companion stars may be brown dwarfs. The observations were
       completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.19 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

       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.
