                       DAILY REPORT #1509

PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 11/01/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 11/02/95

Daily Status Report as of 306/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

1.1 Completed HRS/2 5878 (Si, Fe, and Mg towards HD93521)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to obtain the =
abundances of Si, Fe, and Mg in nine interstellar clouds along the =
line-of-sight to an O-type star in the galactic halo.  During this =
proposal there was a status buffer message indicating that there was a =
fine x-null balance failure.  HSTAR 5346 documents this event.  Otherwise, =
the observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations for radio galaxy 3C136.1 =
to study the morphology of the radio galaxy.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6132 (Imaging Young Stellar Objects)

       The Planetary Camera was used to image the environments of several =
T-Tauri stars.  Analysis of the images will be used to constrain various =
physical parameters including the initial angular momentum of the =
protostellar cloud cores, the radii of circumstellar disks and the =
interaction between highly collimated jets and the protostellar envelopes =
of young stellar objects.  The observation was executed as scheduled, and =
no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6000 (Galaxies in High Redshift Clusters)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain deep broad-band images of several =
high-redshift galaxy clusters.  The objective is to study the morphology =
of those clusters, and compare them with nearby clusters.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

1.5 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.

   1.6 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 NGC7192-NU to study its detached =
decoupled core.  The observations were completed as planned, and no =
anomalies were reported.

   1.7 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 MMJ6490 which is known to have a luminous nearby quasar.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed FOS/RD 6167 (FOS Cycle 5: Dark Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make several =
dark calibration images.  All exposures were internals.  All spectra was =
done in the image mode.  The observations were completed as planned, and =
no problems were reported.
