PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 11/13/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 11/14/95

Daily Status Report as of 318/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

1.1 Completed FGS 6054 (FGS Observations of Halo Population Binaries)

       The FGSs were used in the TRANS mode to make astrometric =
observations of the spectroscopic binary star HD20039. From the FGS scans, =
the separation, position angles, and magnitude difference of the two stars =
will be obtained. The observations were completed as scheduled, and no =
problems were noted.

1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 6253 (Pure Parallel Archive Program)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to execute a pure parallel program taking =
ultraviolet observations running concurrently with prime science =
observations. The intent is to search for extra-galactic sources with flux =
excesses at 3000 A0 and galactic sources with excesses at 1600 A0. The =
observations were completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

1.3 Completed FOS/RD 5824 (Occultation of GSC5249 by Saturn)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to observe =
Saturn's atmosphere and its rings while being occulted by GSC5249.  =
Spectra of the occulted star, of Saturn's atmosphere and of Suturn's rings =
will be obtained before and after the occultation. This proposal was =
affected by the loss of fine lock.  See HSTAR # 5360.

1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5998 (The Evolution of Massive Stars: Closing the =
Loop Observationally)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to  make observations of (OB Class) massive =
star M-33-FLD8 which is located in the Andromeda galaxy. The goal is to =
study the evolution of this class of massive stars. The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

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 WF/PC-2 5972 (Determination of the Extragalactic Distance =
Scale)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the galaxy NGC-2541 =
looking for standard candle Cepheid variable stars. The purpose of this =
observations is to help estimate the Hubble constant with an accuracy of =
10%. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted.

1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio Galaxies) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy =
3C137.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's =
morphology. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

1.8 Completed FOS/RD 6044 (Carbon in the ISM of Spirals)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to obtain UV and =
optical spectra of the H II regions in two spiral galaxies.  The intent is =
to derive the C abundances and C/O ratios at several positions in these =
galaxies.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations for radio galaxy 3C244.1 =
to study the morphology of the radio galaxy. The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

1.10 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.

1.11 Completed WF/PC-2 5938 (The Underlying Nature of Nearby BL Lac =
Objects)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations for the BL Lac object =
QSO0814+42 to determine if this object is a relatively nearby or lensed =
distant object. The observations were completed as planned, and no =
problems were reported.

1.12 Completed GHRS/2 6169 (HRS Eschelle Wavelength Monitor)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side 2) was used to calibrate =
carrousel function, Y-deflection, resolving power, sensititity, and =
scattered light for both eschelle-A and eschelle-B.  All exposures are =
internals.  The observations were completed as planned, and no problems =
were reported.
