                       DAILY REPORT #1505

PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 10/26/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 10/27/95

Daily Status Report as of 300/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 6114 (White Dwarf Distance and Precision Age for =
the Globular Cluster 47 Tuc)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of white dwarf stars =
WD0002+729 and WD0644+375 which are located in the globular cluster 47 Tuc =
in order to study the clusters age and distance.  This set of observations =
will be used to determine the distance to 47 Tuc, hopefully to an accuracy =
of better than 10%.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

1.2 Completed FOS/RD 6080 (Rotation and Kinematics of Blue Stragglers in =
47 Tuc)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
spectrographic observations for blue straggler stars located in 47 Tuc =
(aka, NGC-104) in order to study their rotation and radial velocity of =
these stars. As documented in HSTAR 5341, there was a failed FOS target =
acquisition at 299/200919Z, due to the crowded star field, resulting in =
two status buffer error messages.  In addition, at 299/211055Z, there was =
a loss of lock that lasted for three minutes, 11 seconds.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

   2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 2
                                        Successful : 2

       There was a three minute, 11 second loss of lock at 299/211055Z.

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 6
                                        Successful : 6

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 0
                             Successful : 0

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       There were no reported operational problems.

3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS:
