PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z
Daily Status Report as of 018/0000Z

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 5664 (Quasar Absorption Line Survey: Cycle 4 High)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make
spectrographic observations of the quasar 4C06.41 as part of an absorption
line survey to study the intergalactic medium and galactic halos. 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 5754 (Imaging and Spectrophotometry of Seyfert
Nuclei )

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make narrow band observations of clouds near
the nucleus of Seyfery galaxy NGC-1068 to look for interesting structures.
The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxies 3C47.0
and 3C88.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxies'
morphology. 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., 0405-123IN, 320-REF, 321-REF, 322-REF
and INCA221-27) 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 5234 (Faint Clusters of Galaxies (WC09): Cycle 4)

        The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of faint galaxy cluster
Gal-CLUS-13 to monitor the observations and assess the data quality. The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 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. 

   1.9 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.
