PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 03/13/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 03/14/96

Daily Status Report as of 074/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

    1.1 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.

   1.2 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 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.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5987 (X-Ray Luminous Clusters of Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain images of distant galactic cluster =
MS1054-03.  This cluster was chosen since it is x-ray luminous.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed Two Sets of 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.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5988 (Imaging Quasars in Rich Clusters)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of radio quasar 3C281 =
which is located in a rich galactic cluster.  There is evidence that =
quasars in rich clusters of galaxies evolve more quickly than quasars in =
poor environments.  The observations were completed as planned, and no =
problems were noted.
