PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 11/14/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 11/15/95

Daily Status Report as of 319/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5353 (Low-Mass Binaries in the Hyades: Cycle 4 High)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of the low-mass, late M-Class =
dwarf star RHY312 which is located in the Hyades cluster. Some of the =
companion stars may be brown dwarfs. The observations were completed as =
scheduled, and no problems were reported.

1.2 Completed 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 6125 (Imaging and Spectroscopy of SN 1885 in M-31)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of Super Nova SN 1885 =
(aka, S Andromeda) which is located in M-31 (aka, NGC-224, the Andromeda =
Galaxy). The subsequent plan is to have the Faint Object Spectrograph =
obtain spectra of both the supernova remnant (SNR) and the bulge of M-31. =
The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.

1.4 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.

1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6280 (Planetary Nebular Structure)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain H-alpha images of two planetary =
nebulae.  The goal is to study the filamentary structures and, for =
NGC7293, to look for temporal changes in the condensations by comparing =
these images with those obtained for proposal 5106.  The observations were =
completed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.

1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5897 (Ages For the Oldest Star Clusters in the Large =
Magellanic Cloud)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of star cluster NGC-1976 =
which is known to be one of the oldest clusters in the Large Magellanic =
Cloud. From these data a color magnitude diagram will be constructed that =
extends below the main sequence turnoff.
The following HSTARS identify problems which impacted this proposal.
=B7 HSTAR 5361 - GS acquisition failed due primary SRLE. Acquistion =
preceded by roll maneuver updates only.
=B7 HSTAR 5362 - related to attitude error (see HSTAR 5361)
=B7 HSTAR 5363 - related to attitude error (see HSTAR 5361)

1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 and FOS/RD 5976 (Herbig-Haro Object Near the Orion =
Nebula)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of NGC-1976 (aka, M-42, =
The Orion Nebula.) looking for possible Herbig-Haro Objects. The images =
will be used to determine the excitation mechanisms of the HH objects, and =
their interaction with the nebula and cloud gas. The observations were =
completed as plan, and no anomalies were reported.

1.8 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.

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

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of star HD57061 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.

1.10 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.

1.11 Completed GHRS/2 5860 (Detection of ^11B/^10B and Galactic Chemical =
Evolution)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used in the Echelle =
Mode to make spectrographic observations of star HD102870 to study the =
isotope-split Boron-11 and Boron-10 lines at 2090 A0. A wavelength =
calibration observation was also taken. The following HSTAR identifies =
problems/impacts to this proposal.
=B7 HSTAR 5364 - FGS#1 star selector servo B became stuck during the GS =
acquisition ZOE period & remained stuck until subsequent reacquisition =
(aprox. 87 mins.)
