PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 01/30/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 01/31/96

Daily Status Report as of 031/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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.

   1.2 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.

   1.3 Completed Four Sets of WF/PC-2 6188 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: =
Dark)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal dark calibration images.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5923 (The Structure of the Emission Line Regions =
of Compact Steep Spectrum)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the compact radio =
galaxy 3C48 in order to study the structure of the emission line regions =
of its compact steep spectrum.  The goal is to map the emission line =
structure and establish its relationship to the radio structure.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6250 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Internal =
Monitor)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a series on internal calibration =
observations.  Internal flats, biases, and K-Spot calibration images were =
taken.  These observations are designed to monitor the health of the =
cameras.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5994 (HST Images of New Candidates For Distant =
Proto-Ellipticals)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make an observation of blue compact galaxy =
HERC-13088 in order to measure its size, light profiles, and color.  The =
observation was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed S/C 5582 (FOC/48 Monthly Activation (Camera Section =
Only): Cycle 4) 

        This proposal was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted. 

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


       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy =
3C318.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's =
morphology.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 6182 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5: Photometric =
Transformation)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of standard field object =
Omega Cen (aka, NGC-5139) to check the photometric calibration and =
stability of the WF/PC-2.  Numerous filters were used.  The observations =
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed FOS/RD 6110 (Abundances of Evolved Massive Stars in the =
LMC)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the ejecta from the evolved luminous =
massive star R127 which is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.  This =
star is at a point in its evolution between an O class star and a =
Wolf-Rayet class star, and the spectra will be used to determine the =
elemental abundances and electron temperatures and densities.  Just before =
this proposal began, there were two FHST update failures.  Nevertheless, =
the observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems with the =
proposal were reported..

   1.11 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.
