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 FOS/RD 5512 (Cores of Early Type Galaxies: Part II)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to obtain
       rotational profiles and velocity dispersions around the core of
       galaxy NGC-3115-NU. The observations were executed as scheduled, and
       no anomalies were noted. 

   1.3 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. 

   1.4 Completed Two 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. 

   1.5 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. 

   1.6 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-3621 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. 

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5415 (The Distance to M-96 Galaxy Group: Cycle 4 
       Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of Cepheid variable stars
       within the galaxy UGC-5889 which itself is located in the M-96
       galaxy cluster. This is to help determine the distance to this
       galactic group, and to improve the determination of the Hubble
       constant. The observations were completed as planned, and no
       anomalies were reported.
