PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 05/08/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 05/09/95

Daily Status Report as of 129/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5564 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 : Photometric
Calibration)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric calibration images of
standard white dwarf target GRW+70D582 to measure the relative sensitivities
of the four chips through a set of five filters. The observations were
completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 

   1.2 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. 

   1.3 Completed GHRS/2 5382 (Boron as a Probe of the formation of the
Galactic Halo)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make
observations of the low-metallicity halo star BD-13D3442 to help learn more
about the chemical and dynamical evolution of the galaxy. The observations
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6142 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Earth Flats,
Smaller Set Part II)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make Earth Flat calibration images for the
ultraviolet and narrow-band filters to correct for the telescope's
illumination pattern. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed 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
BD+4D3561 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. 

   1.6 Completed FOS/RD/BL 5537 (Cycle 4 Superflat Spectral Flat Fields) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make observations of
ultraviolet standard star BD+28D4211 which has a relatively featureless
spectra. The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were
reported. 

   1.7 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.
