                       DAILY REPORT #1479

PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 09/19/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 09/20/95

Daily Status Report as of 263/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5957 (Snapshot of 3CR Radio Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations for radio galaxy 3C93.1 to
study the morphology of the radio galaxy.  The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 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.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5447 (The Nature of Primeval Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep polarization observations of the
distant, massive galaxy 4C23.56 to look for molecular gas, dust, and star
formation.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies
were noted. 

   1.4 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
nebulae JNER1 to study its nuclei and to look for possible companions.  The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5972 (Determination of the Extragalactic Distance
Scale)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the galaxy NGC-1365
looking for standard candle Cepheid variable stars.  The purpose of these
observations is to help estimate the Hubble constant with an accuracy of 10%.
 The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed GHRS/1/2 5647 (Search For Hot Plasmas in the Outer
Atmospheres of K Giants)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Sides One and Two) was used to make
observations of the K class giant star HD62509 (aka, Beta Gem/Pollux) in
order to study the hot plasma in its outer atmosphere.  The strength of
emission lines of C III, Si III, C IV, Si IV, and N v will place constraints
on the amount of hot plasma present, which in turn will constrain the
nonradiative heating process.  The observations were executed as scheduled,
and no anomalies were noted.
