PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 10/16/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 10/17/95

Daily Status Report as of 290/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 6184 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Photometric Calibration =
Monitor UV/OPT STD)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet and optical observations =
of standard star GRW+70D582 in order to monitor the photometric =
calibrations of the camera and to check for decontamination.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 6183 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: =
Decon)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make some internal flat, K-Spot, and dark =
calibration images.  The purpose is to define decontamination procedures =
to be run during Cycle 5.  The calibration observations were completed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6266 (High Resolution Surface Photometry of =
NGC-7479)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make multicolor high resolution =
observations of  the surface of the star bursting galaxy NGC-7479 to =
investigate the interaction among gas clouds, dust, star formation, and =
the stellar populations.  The observations were executed as planned, and =
no anomalies were reported.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5943 (Decoupled Cores in Low-Mass Early Type =
Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the nuclear region of =
the low-luminosity, early-type galaxy NGC-2434 to study its detached =
decoupled core.  The observations were complete as planned, and no =
anomalies were reported.

   1.5 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.

   1.6 Completed GHRS/1 6069 (Unraveling the Complex Wind Outflow From =
Zeta Auriga)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the star Zeta Auriga (aka, HD32068) in =
order to study its complex wind outflow.  This system is believed to be an =
eclipsing binary system with a 972 day period.  A wavelength calibration =
observations was also taken.  The observations were completed as planned, =
and no anomalies were reported.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations for radio galaxy 3C111.0 =
to study the morphology of the radio galaxy.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5849 (Host Galaxies of Luminous Nearby Quasars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep exposure observations of host =
galaxy PG0953+414 which is known to have a luminous nearby quasar.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5978 (Host Galaxy of Distant Radio Quasars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the host galaxy of =
distant radio-loud quasar B3-1019+39.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
