PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z
Daily Status Report as of 313/0000Z

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. No other
       anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed FOS/RD 5664 (Quasar Absorption Line Survey: Cycle 4 High)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make
       spectrographic observations of quasi-stellar object UM425 to look
       for absorption lines due to gas in the intergalactic medium and
       galactic halos. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.3 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
       MG0414+053 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.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5764 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal Flats
       - Repeat)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal flat calibration images using
       the VIS lamp and internal sources. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 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.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5351 (Properties of Intermediate Redshift
       Galactic Disks Causing Damped Lyman-Alpha)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations to study the diffuse
       material at intermediate redshifts that is identified by absorbing
       Lyman-Alpha spectrum from quasar 3C286.0. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
