1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed GHRS/1 5745 (GHRS PSF Imaging Test)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make
       observations of standard target star source SK-65D21 to determine
       the Point Spread Function (PSF) for the GHRS/1. The observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   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 a snapshot program to obtain
       ultraviolet spectra of AV372, 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 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 dark and visual flats. Part of 
       the fourth group was lost because it was written during a tape 
       recorder switchover. No other anomalies were noted. 

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5663 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4: Photometric Calibration 
       Monitor: Fields Part 2)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of globular cluster
       NGC-6752 with various filters in order to check the photometric
       calibration of the WF/PC-2. The observations were completed as
       planned, and no anomalies were reported. 

   1.5 Completed Three 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. 

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5238 (Asteroids (WC16): Cycle 4) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the asteroid
       532-Hurcul. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted. 

   1.7 Completed Two Sets of FOS/BL 5723 (Constraints of Massive Star 
       Evolution From Carbon and Oxygen Abundance.)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       ultraviolet spectral observations of massive Wolf-Rayet stars,
       HD37680 and HD32257, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud to
       measure their carbon and oxygen abundances. The observations were
       completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 

   1.8 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 F280 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. 

   1.10 Completed FOC/96 5469 (Externally Illuminated Proto-Stellar Disks 
        and Naked Jets)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make high resolution
       observations of young stellar objects and proto-planetary disks in
       NGC-1976 (aka, The Orion Nebula). The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were reported. 

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5397 (Determination of the Extragalactic Distance 
       Scale: Cycle 4 High)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of galaxy NGC-3198 to be used in
       measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxy.
       The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were
       noted. 

   1.11 Completed WF/PC-2 5378 (Morphological Evolution of Galaxies in 
       Clusters at Z = 0.5)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy GAL-CLUS-0 to
       study its morphology. The exposure time was 1200 seconds. The
       observations were completed as planned, and no problems were
       reported.
