PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 05/24/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 05/25/95

Daily Status Report as of 145/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

1.1 Completed FOS/BL 5532 (FOS Dark Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Sides) was used to monitor the
instrument's background (dark) images. The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

1.2 Completed FOS/RD 5125 (Velocity Dispersions in the Nuclei of Giant
Ellipticals)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used with its small
apertures to make observations of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC-4486 to map
its stellar dispersion and rotation in the galaxy's central region. The
observations were completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6252 (GTO Pure Parallel Program - Cycle 4 Crafting
Test.

       This parallel program uses the WF/PC-2 and target fields at galactic
latitudes above 10 degrees.  Galactic star counts and the structure of the
galactic halo will be studied.  The observation completed as planned, and no
problems were reported.

1.4 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-4725 to be used in
measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxies. The
observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.

1.5 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.

1.6 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
3C277.0, 3C268.3, 3C352.0, 3C337.0, and 3C343.1 as part of a continuum survey
and to study the galaxies's morphology. The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6233 (Stellar Populations in NGC-147)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain deep images about 0.5 degrees from the
center of NGC-147, a dwarf elliptical companion of the Andromeda galaxy.  The
images will be used to obtain the color magnitude diagram for the stars in
the old-population galaxy.  This will put constraints on the age of the
stars.  Shorter exposures will also be obtained to search for any unusual
objects.  The proposal completed without incident.
