Daily Status Report as of 354/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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. 

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5512 (Cores of Early Type Galaxies: Part II)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the nucleus of early
       type galaxy NGC-4594-NU to obtain a rotational profiles and
       velocity dispersions. The observations were executed as scheduled,
       and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.3 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. 

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2  5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio Galaxies) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy 3C132.0
       as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted. 

   1.5 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-3351 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. 

   1.6 Completed 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-4255 to provide statistics on the nuclear cusps, stellar
       condensations, and inner stellar disks and dust lanes. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted. 

   1.7 Completed FOS/RD 5767 (Fall Heptathlon)

       Observations were made of several Faint Object Spectrograph (Red
       Side) F-SPECT1, to determine the position of the FOS in the Focal
       plane and to measure the plate scale. Several dark images were also
       taken. The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies
       were reported. 

   1.8 Completed FOS/BL 5539 (Cycle 4 FOS Photometric Monitor)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) used standard star
       BD+75D325 to calibrate the absolute sensitivity of its detectors.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted. 

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5371 (HST Medium_ Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium Low 
       Galactic Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to make low galactic latitude deep multicolor images of objects such
       as galaxies, and stars in our galaxy. The observations were
       completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5629 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Photometric Calibration 
       Monitor 1C: 4-Chip STR 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.
