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  5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxies 
3C41.0
       and 3C431.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxies'
       morphology. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.3 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 FOC/96 5522 (FOC Post-COSTAR Polarization Calibration)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make polarization
       calibration observations using standard object LK-HA-233 as a source
       to help find the transmission coefficients. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   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 WF/PC-2 5504 (Structure of HERBIG-HARO Jets From New Born
       Stars: Cycle 4 High)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the jet on star HH111
       (Herbig-Haro). The HH jets are related to the star's formation
       process. The observations were completed as planned, and no
       anomalies were reported.

   1.7 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 3C217, 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.

   1.8 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.
