PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 02/01/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 02/02/96

Daily Status Report as of 033/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/RD 6167 (FOS Cycle 5: Dark Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make several =
dark calibration images.  All exposures were internals.  All spectra was =
done in the image mode.  The observations were completed as planned, and =
no problems were reported.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 6129 (The Structure, Polarization, and Evolution =
of the Crab Synchrotron Nebula)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the area near =
Crab-Pulsar (M-1) in order to study its structure, polarization, and =
evolution.  Two color and polarization images were made.  A dark =
calibration image was also taken.  The observations were executed as =
planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6344 (Low - Mass Binaries in the Hyades - =
Completing the Survey)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the low mass binary =
star RHY399 (M-Class Dwarf Stars) which is located in the Hyades Cluster.  =
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed GHRS/1 6018 (Reading the "Rosetta Stone": GHRS =
Spectroscopy of Individual Stars)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
observations of individual stars (i.e., Melnick-34, et al) located in =
R136A which in turn is located in the Large Magellanic cloud.  The goal is =
to obtain a better understanding of the evolution of very massive stars.  =
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
