Daily Status Report as of 305/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed GHRS/1 5950 (Spectroscopy of the Three UV Brightest Known =
High-Redshift Quasars)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
ultraviolet observations of quasar HS-1103+64 which is known to be one of =
the brightest high redshift quasars.  The objectives are to measure the C, =
N, O, and Ne abundances in the halos of early galaxies, to measure the =
intensity of the ionizing UV background, to measure He I, and to study the =
Lyman-Alpha forest.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were reported.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5924 (Nuclear Emission Line Region Associated =
with Compact Flat Spectrum)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make spectrographic observations of the =
nuclear emission region of galaxy NGC-5675 to study its compact flat =
spectrum.  There is evidence that this jet-produced AGN is powered by =
accretion disks feeding massive black hole.  The observations were =
executed as schedule, and no anomalies were noted.

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

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations in order =
measure the parallax to NGC-6853 (stars 48, 52, 29 and 63) one of the =
nearest planetary neabulae.  The observations were executed as planned, =
and no problems were reported.

   1.4 Completed 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.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5906 (Star Counts and Color-Magnitude Diagrams of =
Four Bright Globular Cluster)

       The WF/PC-2 Camera was used to make multi-color images (V and I =
Bands) of a globular cluster located in the Andromeda Galaxy (M-31) in =
order to make a color-magnitude diagram of the cluster.  The observations =
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed GHRS/2 6249 (Observations of Interstellar Oxygen)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of star HD5394 in order to study interstellar =
oxygen in the line of sight to that star.  It was found previously that =
the oxygen abundance in the direction of Orion is only half of the solar =
abundance.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6215 (Saturn's Aurora and Airglow)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet observations of the planet =
Saturn in order to study its airglow and auroral regions.  The emission of =
Lyman-Alpha, H2 Lyman and the Werner bands were imaged.  The observations =
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed Four 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.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 6250 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Internal =
Monitor)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a series on internal calibration =
observations.  Internal flats, biases, and K-Spot calibration images were =
taken.  These observations are designed to monitor the health of the =
cameras.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 6235 (High Resolution Imaging of Radio Galaxies =
at Redshift Z~1.0)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of faint radio galaxy =
3C49 which is known to have a redshift of about one.  This is to attempt =
to determine the cause of the alignment of the blue-excess along the radio =
axis.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted.

   1.11 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.

   1.12 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 NGC-6853 to study its nuclei and to look for possible =
companions.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.
