PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 03/06/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 03/07/96

Daily Status Report as of 067/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 6184 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Photometric Calibration =
Monitor UV/OPT STD)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet and optical observations =
of standard star GRW+70D582 in order to monitor the photometric =
calibrations of the camera and to check for decontamination.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 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.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of FOS/RD 6039 (The young , Rapidly-Evolving =
Planetary nebula HE3-1357)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the young, rapidly evolving planetary =
nebula HE3-1357 (Sectors R, S and O).  It appears that this planetary =
nebula is no older than 40 years.  The evolution of this object should =
allow a strict test of the models and theories for the early evolution of =
planetary nebulae.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed Two Sets of 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.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5929 (White Dwarfs and Their Binary Progeny in a =
Core-Collapsed Globular Cluster)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of white dwarf stars =
(cataclysmic variables) and their binary progeny in the central core =
collapsed globular cluster NGC-6397. The investigators will obtain =
photometry of the candidate stars, and study their distribution.  The =
observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.
