PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 10/11/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 10/12/95

Daily Status Report as of 285/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 6225 (Resolving Dust Around Shell Stars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep image observations of A-class =
shell star HR-2174 looking for protoplanetary disks, like that around Beta =
Pic. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 6187 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Earth Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make Earth streak flat calibration images. =
These streak flats will be used to produce flat fields, to map the OTA =
illumination pattern and, in combination with other data, to produce new =
superflats. The observations were completed as planned, and no problems =
were reported.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6113 (Searching for Low Mass Stars: The Mass =
Function )

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of globular cluster =
NGC-6254 to search for very low mass (VLM) stars. The intent is to derive =
the luminosity and mass functions for VLM stars. The observations were =
completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of 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 EGB6 to study its nuclei and to look for possible =
companions. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.5 Completed GHRS/2 5961 (The D/H Ratio in Double QSO Absorption =
System Towards Q0454+220)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the Lyman Alpha line toward QSO Q0454-220 =
in order to study the Deuterium to Hydrogen ratio. A wavelength =
calibration image was also taken. The observations were completed as =
planned, and no problems were reported.

                             Successful : 11

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       No problems were reported. All observatiory subsystems performinf =
nominally.
