PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 05/03/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 05/04/95

Daily Status Report as of 124/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy 3C175.0
as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology. The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5572 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4: Photometric Filter
Calibration)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of GRW+70D582 to make photometric
calibrations for all of the WF/PC-2 filters. The observations were completed
as planned, and no anomalies were reported. 

   1.3 Completed 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. 

   1.4 Completed FGS 6147 (Extragalactic Astronomy and Astrophysics Final:
Cycle 4 Observations)

       The FGSs were used to make observations of targets NEWEGOB-35,
1520-REF, 1521-REF, 5122-REF and NEWHIP-35. The objective of this long-term
program is to determine the rotation of the HIPPARCOS reference relative to
the extragalactic frame. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5091 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
to make high galactic latitude observations greater than +/-30 degrees. The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5981 (Calibration of Nearby Type IA supernova as
Standard Candles: NGC-4639)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of Cepheid variable stars in
Galaxy NGC-4639 (which has produced a Type IA Supernova) to calibrate the
nova's absolute brightness so that it can be used as a standard candle for
distance measurements.The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5132 (A Photometric Search for Planets
of Nearby Stars) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric observations of nearby star
HD128620, Proxima Cent and HD128621 to search for possible planets. The
exposure time was calculated so that area beyond 1.2 arcseconds from the
central star is not saturated. The observations were completed as planned,
and no problems were reported. 

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 5466 (The Interaction Between Io and the Plasma
Torus)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make Echelle
spectrographic observations of the plasma torus surrounding the planet
Jupiter which is generated by its moon Io. Of particular interest is the O II
emission line at 2471 A0. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
anomalies were reported.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5772 (PC Imaging of Gravitational Lenes, WF/PC-2
Augmentation, Carryover)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep exposure observations of the
gravitational lens system 2118+132. The images were obtained in two band
passes, with the longer wavelength filter intended for the lensing galaxy and
the shorter for the quasar. The observations were executed as scheduled, and
no anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed GHRS/2 5599 (GHRS Side 2 Sensitivity Monitor: Cycle 4) 

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make some long term
sensitivity monitoring by making observations of standard star BD+28D4211.
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
