PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 09/25/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 09/26/95

Daily Status Report as of 269/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FGS 6272 (Gravitational Deflection of Light (By Jupiter))

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of the target star
HD148898 and two reference stars, EIN1-REF and EIN2-REF, to study the
gravitational deflection of light by the planet Jupiter.  The point is to
observe each star at several positions with respect to Jupiter.  The
observations were executed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WF/P-2 6254 (GTO Pure Parallel Program - Cycle
5)

       The WF/PC-2 was use to make random long exposures of high galactic
fields taken in parallel with the prime science observations to obtain a
random sample of galaxies.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and
no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of 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.

   1.4 Completed GHRS/1 6164 (Composition of Gas in Individual Interstellar
Clouds: Cycle 5 DDT Observations)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make the
highest possible resolution spectrographic observations of the interstellar
gas clouds located in the line of sight to star HD202904 which is located in
the galactic disk.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed FGS 6037 (Continuation of an Astrometric Search for
Planetary Companions to Proxima-Cent)

       The FGSs were used in the POS mode to make astrometric observations of
the star Proxima-Cent and a sub-set of eight reference stars.  This is to
look for the presence of a planetary companion.  The observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5971 (HST Medium Deep Survey)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a long exposure, medium-deep sky survey
observations at latitudes larger than 10 degrees, taken in parallel with the
prime science observations.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and
no anomalies were noted

   1.7 Completed FGS 6268 (The Parallax of NGC-6853)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations in order measure
the parallax to NGC-6853, one of the nearest planetary neabulae.  The
observations were executed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 6168 (GHRS PHA/Ion/Threshold Adjustment Test-Cycle 5)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to run the
standard pulse height analysis (aka, PHA), and to make internal flat
calibration images, ion and threshold adjustments, and a dark calibration
image.  These are internal observations, which will be used to determine the
best threshold setting for each diode.  The observations were completed as
planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.9 Completed GHRS/2 6178 (Composition of Gas in Individual Interstellar
Clouds: Cycle 5 GTO Observations)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make
spectrographic observations of the interstellar gas clouds located in the
line of sight to star HD202904, which is located in the galactic disk.  The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
