1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Three 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. 
  
   1.2 Two Sets of FOS/RD 5433 (Testing the AGN Paradigm in
       Nearby Seyfert Galaxies: Cycle 4 High) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph is currently is safemode, and no
       observations were executed. 
  
   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2  5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio Galaxies) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy 3C277.1
       as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted. 

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5776 (Observations of the 1994 Spot on Saturn)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations fo the recent white spot
       on the planet Saturn. Observations were made through various filters.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted. 

   1.5 Completed FGS 5510 (Mass Ratio Determination for Doubles with 
       Subtler Mass Members)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make astrometric observations
       of binary star L722-22-00. The astrometric observations were
       monitored, and no problems were seen. 

   1.6 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. 

   1.7 FOS/RD 5441 (The Inner Regions of Quasars: Cycle 4)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph is currently is safemode, and no 
       observations were executed.

   1.8 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5489 (Multi-spectral Images of Vest: 
       Cycle 4 Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make multi-spectral images of the asteroid
       Vest in four filter passbands. The objective is to obtain a
       geological map of this apparently igneous body. The observations
       were completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 

   1.9 Completed FGS 5657 (Duplicity Among Heads Stars: Cycle 4 High)

       The FGSs (TRANS-Mode) were used to make astrometric observations of
       star VA502 located in the Hyades cluster in an attempt to find a
       close binary. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted. 

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5092 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program: Cycle 4) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations taken in parallel with the
       prime science observations. This is part of a survey to take
       pictures of a large number of fields within 30 degrees of the
       galactic plane. The observations were completed as planned, and no
       problems were reported. 

   1.11 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5446 (The Nuclei of Nearby S0 and 
       Spiral Galaxies: A PC Snapshot Imaging)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the core region of galaxy
       NGC-891 to provide statistics on the nuclear cups, stellar
       condensations, and inner stellar disks and dust lanes. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.
