PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z
Daily Status Report as of 019/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed COSTAR/FOC  5762 (FOC Point Spread Function Monitoring:
Cycle 4)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make an image of an
ultraviolet standard star BPM16274 in order to monitor the point-spread
function of the HST-COSTAR-FOC channel. There was one guide star recentering
event reported which lasted for a total of four seconds. No other anomalies
were noted.

   1.2 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. 

   1.3 Completed FOS/96 5420 (Color-Magnitude Diagrams of globular clusters
in M-31: Cycle 4 Medium)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (F/96) was used to make spectrographic
observations of the globular cluster G351 which is located in galaxy M-31
(aka, the Andromeda Galaxy). This is to help build a color-magnitude diagram
of globular clusters within this galaxy. The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed Four Sets of FOS/BL 5444 (A UV Spectral Library of Metal-
Poor Massive Stars) 

       The FOS (Blue Side) was used for a snapshot program to obtain
ultraviolet spectra of AV75 a metal-poor star in the LMC.  It will be useful
for stellar atmosphere and stellar evolution studies. The observations
completed without incident. 

   1.5 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. 

   1.6 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.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5663 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4: Photometric Calibration
Monitor: Fields Part 2)

      The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of globular cluster NGC-5136
with various filters in order to check the photometric calibration of the
WF/PC-2. The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were
reported. 

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 5305 (Iron-Peak Elements in Hot Subdwarfs: Cycle 4
Medium)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make
observations of the hot sub dwarf O class star HD127493 to measure the
abundance of Fe and Ni. A wavelength calibration image was also taken. The
observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.
