Daily Status Report as of 221/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 6189 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Internal Monitor
- Vis Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal visual flat calibration images. 
Both photometric and narrow-band filters were used.  The observations were
executed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.2 Completed FOS/BL 5926 (The Excitation Mechanism of Extended Emission
Line Regions)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make ultraviolet
spectrographic observations of knots in the extended emission line region of
the active galactic nuclei of galaxy NGC-5643 to study it excitation
mechanism.  The intent is to determine if radiative autoionization shocks
help heat the gas in the extended emission line region.  The observations
were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.3 Completed Four Sets of WF/PC-2 6254 (GTO Pure Parallel Program - Cycle
5)

        The WF/PC-2 was used to make some long exposure observations taken in
parallel with the prime science observations.  These were a random sample of
high galactic latitude fields.  The observations were executed as scheduled,
and no anomalies were reported.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6250 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Internal Monitor)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal bias, internal flat images and
K-Spot calibrations to monitor the health of the cameras.  The observations
were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6188 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Dark)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal dark calibration images.   The
observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.6 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6190 (WF/PC-2 Cycle  4 Calibration:
Internal Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make an internal flat filter sweep and an
internal preflash level test. The internal lamp is also used as a source for
the preflash test.  The observation was executed as scheduled, and no
anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6119 (Snapshot Survey for Companions of Planetary
Nebula Nuclei)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot survey observations of planetary
nebula K1-22 to study its nuclei and to look for possible companions.  The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5932 (Morphologies of High Redshift Radio Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations the high redshift galaxy
GAL-0214-1 (at distance Z>2) in order to study its morphology, especially the
fine detail in clumping.  The images were obtained in the continuum and in
Lyman-Alpha.  The observations were executed as planned, and no anomalies
were noted.

   1.9 Completed GHRS/1 5879 (The Deuterium to Hydrogen Ration in the
Interstellar Medium)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make
spectrographic observations of the late type star HD22049 in order to study
the interstellar medium.  The objective is to determine the deuterium to
hydrogen ratio in the interstellar medium in the line of sight to this star. 
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
