1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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. The
       observations were completed as planned, and no problems were
       reported. 

   1.2 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 NGC-1386 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. 

   1.3 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5475 (A Snapshot Survey for Blue 
       Stragglers in Magellanic Cluster Cores)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make short exposure snapshot images of the
       blue straggler stars located in populous cluster NGC-1777. The
       intent is to find out if blue straggler stars exist within this
       cluster. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted. 

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of 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. 

   1.5 Completed FOS/RD/BL Three Sets of 5532 (FOS Dark Monitoring) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red and Blue Sides) was used to
       monitor the instrument's background (dark) images. The observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.6 Completed FGS 5334 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic 
       Reference Frame: BR0-11, Part 1)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to to make astrometric
       observations of several stars (i.e., 0109+224IN, 120-REF, 121-REF,
       122-REF, INCA221-2) to help tie the HIPPARCOS and extragalactic
       reference frames togather. The observations were completed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were reported. 

   1.7 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. 

   1.8 Completed Two Sets of FOS/BL 5448 (Spacially Resolved Maps of 
       Optically thick Accretion Disks: Cycle 4 High)

       The Faint Object spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       ultraviolet spectrographic observations of the 13 th magnitude
       nova-like optically thick accretion disk of star UX-UMA to map out
       its structure. The observations were executed as planed, and no
       anomalies were reported. 

   1.9 Completed Two Sets of 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. 

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5449 (The Morphologies of Normal Galaxies at High 
       Redshifts: Cycle 4 Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the high redshift
       normal-appearing galaxies (Field-1418) in the characteristics to be
       studied are bulge-to-disk ratios, spiral arm structure, and evidence
       of interactions or mergers. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were reported. 

   1.10 Completed GHRS/1 5542 (GHRS Side One Wavelength (1st Order
       Gratings): Cycle 4) 

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) used the spectral
       calibration lamp (Side Two) to calibrate the Side One
       characteristics. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.
