PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 02/05/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 02/06/96

Daily Status Report as of 037/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of S/C 6843 (Test of Technique to Avoid FGS1 =
Stalls)

       Special test were conducted using FGS #1 to test a technique for =
avoiding FGS stalls.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed GHRS/2 5310 (AB Doradus: the Key Object of Stellar =
Activity)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to to make =
spectral observations of AB Doradus (aka, HD36705) which is known for the =
strongest chormospheric and transition region of any star.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6345 (Determining the Binary =
Frequency for Ultra-Cool, Nearby M Dwarf Stars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of ultra-cool, nearby, M =
class dwarf star LP944-20 to determine the frequency for it being a binary =
system, and to try to detect stellar and sub-stellar companions. The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 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 RHY200 (M-Class Dwarf Stars) which is located in the Hyades Cluster.  =
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed FOS/BL 5843 (First Ultraviolet Spectrographic Survey of =
2060 Charon)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
ultraviolet spectrographic observations of the deep solar-system object =
2060-Chiron while it is near perihelion.  This will provide information on =
the properties of the surface of Chrion and the gas surrounding it.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed FGS 6177 (Intermediate Plate Scale Calibration)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of stars =
4727-25, HD65949, et al to perform an intermediate plate scale calibration =
in the central region of the FGS. The observations were completed as =
scheduled, and non anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6101 (The Young Double Cluster NGC-1850 in the =
Large Magellanic Cloud)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the young double =
cluster NGC-1850 which is located in the Large Magellanic cloud.  Each =
component is reported to have different ages, mass functions, and spatial =
distributions.  The observations were completed as planned, and no =
anomalies were reported.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 6841 (The Nucleus of Comet H-M-P)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometry and colorimetry =
observations of the nuclear region of Comet-45P (aka, Comet =
Honda-Markos-Pajdusakova) during its close approach to Earth.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.9 Completed  Two Sets of FGS 6037 (Continuation of an Astrometric =
Search for Planetary Companions to Proxima-Cent)

       The FGSs were used in the POS mode to make astrometric observations =
of the star Proxima-Cent and a sub-set of eight reference stars.  This is =
to look for the presence of a planetary companion.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 6179 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5: Photometric =
Zero Point)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of photometric standard =
star HZ-44 in order to calibrate the photometric zero point.  The =
calibration was done for eighteen WF/PC filters.  The observations were =
executed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.11 Completed FOS/BL 5515 (Eclipse Mapping of the Touchstone Systems =
CM-Dra Cycle 4 Medium)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used in the rapid =
mode to make observations of the Touchstone System CM-Draconis (aka, =
GL630.1) to do eclipse mapping.  The objective is to map the upper =
atmosphere of the M4Ve class component of CM Dra by measuring the =
disappearance of light during the eclipse of the secondary.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
