PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 12/11/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 12/12/95

Daily Status Report as of 346/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

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


       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy =
3C180.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's =
morphology.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.2 Completed FOS/BL 6055 (Spectrometry of the Central W-R Star of the =
LMC-PN-N66)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
observations of the central star in the planetary nebula LMC-N66-CS which =
is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.  This star has recently =
developed Wolf-Rayet type features and the continuum has brightened =
significantly in the ultraviolet and visible.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6033 (Parallel High Resolution Imaging of Defuse =
Objects in the Magellanic Clouds)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make parallel images of a variety of defuse =
objects located in the Magellanic Clouds.  The observations were primarily =
in the Balmer lines and stronger forbidden lines, with supplemental =
continuum images.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no =
problems were reported.

   1.4 Completed FGS 6063 (Continuation of Mass Ratio Determination for =
Doubles)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make POS and TRANS mode =
astrometric observations of double star L722-22-00.  This binary star =
system contains a low mass star and a brown dwarf.  The observations were =
completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 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.

   1.6 Completed FOC/96 5822 (Wind Accretion in the Mira AB System)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make multi-wave images =
and objective prism spectra of the detached binary variable star HD14386 =
(aka, the Mira AB System) to study its wind accretion.  This system =
consists of a compact object and a red giant star.  The compact object is =
accreting mass from the giant's stellar wind.  The observations were =
completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.7 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.

   1.8 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.

   1.9 Completed FOS/BL 5851 (Post Asymptotic Giant Branch Evolution in =
the Magellanic Clouds)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
ultraviolet observations of the planetary nebula LMC-SMP78 which is =
located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.  Extensive ground-based and HST =
observations and imaging work has already been done on this object.  The =
observations were completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5971 (HST Medium Deep Survey)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a long exposure medium deep sky survey =
observations at latitudes larger than 10 degrees taken in parallel with =
the prime science observations.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

   2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 7
                                        Successful : 7

       There was a three minute, 29 second loss of lock starting at =
346/042924Z.  The take data flag went down as a SIP was being commanded.

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 6
                                        Successful : 6

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 18
                             Successful : 18

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       HST operations have resumed in the MOR after the completion of the =
reconfiguration activities.
