PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 12/06/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 12/07/95

Daily Status Report as of 341/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

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

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations for radio galaxy 3C249.0 =
to study the morphology of this radio galaxy.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5914 (The Formation History of Globular Clusters =
in M-33)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make V and I observations of  globular =
cluster NGC-598-R12 which is located in the M-33 galaxy in order to study =
its formation history.  Color-magnitude diagrams made from these images =
will be examined for evidence of a parameter other than metallicity that =
influences the evolutionary development of stars.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6187 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Earth Flat)

       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.

   1.4 Completed GHRS/1 5895 (The Cool Atomic and Molecular Medium in B3)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
observations of star HD23180 in order to study the foreground cool atomic =
and molecular medium of a molecular cloud known as B3.  These observations =
should yield information about the gas pressure, density, kinematics, and =
chemical processes in the halo around the cloud.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5834 (Distant Comet Nucleus Sizes)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the Comet =
Shoemaker-Levy 87 H1 (note: not Shoemaker-Levy 9) to try to determine the =
size of its nucleus.  This comet is farther than 19 AU from the sun, and =
should show the bare nucleus.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
