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 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. 

   1.3 Completed 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 flat calibration image. The
       observation wAS completed as planned, and no problems were
       reported. 

   1.4 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
       0142-100 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. 

   1.5 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 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 PKS0232-04 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. 

   1.7 Completed Four 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. 

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5701 (Galaxy Populations in Intermediate Redshift 
       Clusters: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to observe fields in the Abell galactic cluster
       AC118 to study the morphology of the galaxies in the cluster so that
       they can be classified and used to learn more about the
       Butcher-Oemler effect. The observations were completed as planned,
       and no problems were reported. 

   1.9 Completed FOS/RD 5456 (The BAL Region Covering Factor in QSOs with 
       Weak Narrow-Line (O III) Emissions) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make
       spectrographic observations of the active galactic nuclei of nearby
       QSO Q1121+423 to study weak, narrow O III emissions and strong Fe II
       emissions in BAL regions. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5369 (HST Medium-Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium, High
       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. 

   1.11 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. 

   1.12 Completed WF/PC-2 5730 (Physical Conditions in the Narrow Lined 
        Regions)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the narrow
       lined-regions of the active galactic nuclei of NGC-3393-AN to
       determine the relative positions of the nuclear targets and an
       offset star. The observations were completed as planned, and no
       anomalies were noted. 

   1.13 Completed WF/PC-2 5454 (Ellipticals with Kinamatically Distinct
       Cores: Cycle 4 Medium) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the small elliptical
       galaxy NGC-4406 which contains a massive core which is Kinematically
       distinct from the rest of the galaxy. The observations were executed
       as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.14 Completed GHRS/2 5406 (The Nature of the Variable Infalling 
        Material of the Star Beta Pictori)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make
       spectrographic observations to investigate the chemical composition
       and physical conditions of the disk around the star HD39060 (aka,
       Beta Pictori). A wavelength calibration image was also taken. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.
