       Galactic  Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 made a series of observations of high latitude objects
       as part of a medium deep sky survey. The observations were taken in
       parallel with other prime science observations. The observations
       were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed FOS/RD 5588 (FOS Prism Snapshot Survey)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph is currently in Safe Mode, and no
       observations were executed.

   1.3 Completed Three Sets of 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.

   1.4 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-4203, which
       is known to have ultraviolet bright, low-luminosity, active galactic
       nuclei. The observations were completed as planned, and no problems
       were reported.

   1.5 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 WAS45 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.

   1.6 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.

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

       The Faint Object Spectrograph is currently in Safe Mode, and no
       observations were executed.

   1.8 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 a visual flats. The observations were
        completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.9 Completed COSTAR/FOC  5762 (FOC Point Spread Function Monitoring:
       Cycle 4)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make an image of an
       ultraviolet standard star (BPM16274) in order to monitor the
       point-spread function of the HST-COSTAR-FOC channel. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   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.

   1.11 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.

   1.12 Completed 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 position of greatest
       elongation 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. Two recentering events were reported
       to have lasted for a total of six seconds. No other anomalies were
       noted.

   1.13 Completed WF/PC-2 5343 (WFC Imaging of Nearby Bright Quasars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of the bright quasar NAB0205+05
       and its host galaxy. The goal is to study the morphology of this
       galaxy, and to see how it differs from non-QSO galaxies. They also
       will be looking for the relationship between the properties of the
       host galaxy and the luminosity of the quasar. The observations were
       completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.14 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 RHY281 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.

   1.15 Completed WF/PC-2 5563 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Photometric Calibration
       Monitor 1: UV /OPT STD.)

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

       by mid-afternoon tomorrow.

3.0 ANOMALY STATUS:

   3.1 Significant New Anomalies: None

   3.2 Significant Unresolved Anomalies:

       Preliminary analysis of the FOS safing of the Blue Side this past
       Monday indicates a possible transient which corrupted the FOS
       microprocessor's memory, overloading the microprocessor. In
       conjunction with the STScI and the FOS developers at UCSD, a
       recovery plan has been developed which presents zero risk to the
       instrument hardware. Recovery from safemode today will permit a Red
       Side observation to execute, verifying normal Red Side operations.
       If successful, Red Side observations will continue to be scheduled.
       Further FOS observations in the week's SMS will be inhibited. On
       10/31/94, the Blue Side will execute without High Voltage being
       turned on. Assuming success, the next Blue Side observation with
       High Voltage turn-on will be executed. If an anomaly occurs, Blue
       Side activities will be removed from future SMSs while analysis
       activities proceed.

4.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS:

        Nothing at this time.
