PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 03/18/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 03/19/96

Daily Status Report as of 079/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 6726 (PC Astrometry of the Brown Dwarf Candidate =
PPL-15).

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep, far red  astrometric =
observations of the field around the brown dwarf candidate PPL-15.  Based =
of its radial velocity, the target is thought to be a member of the =
Pleiades star cluster.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and =
no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of FOS/RD 6089 (Eclipse Mapping and Tomography =
of the UV Emitting Region of DQ Her)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make rapid =
mode ultraviolet observations of the eclipsing binary star 14AUR-C in =
order to do eclipse mapping and tomographic studies.  Observations were =
made of both the ultraviolet continuum and emission lines.  A wavelength =
calibration image was also taken.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of FGS 6239 (Duplicity Among Hyades Stars Cycle =
5, High)

       The FGSs were used in the TRANS mode to make astrometric =
observations of star VA351 which is located in the Hyades Star Cluster to =
see if this star is a  possible double.  This star may have a very low =
mass main sequence companion or a degenerate component.  The observations =
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed GHRS/2 5894 (The Hot Gaseous Halo of the Large =
Magellanic Cloud)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
observations of star SK-67.76 located in the Large Magellanic Cloud in =
order to study the cloud's hot gaseous halo.  The spectrographic =
observations were used to search for interstellar C IV absorption lines =
in the line of sight to the star.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 6127 (Velocity Field and Small Scale Structure =
in the L1551 IRS5 Jet)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the jet IRS5 located =
in Herbig-Haro object L1551-IRS5 in order to study its velocity field and =
the time evolution of small structures within the jet.  The observations =
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed GHRS/1 5882 (Ech-A Studies of Single Interstellar =
Clouds)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
Echelle-A spectrographic observations of the star HD91316 (aka, Rho Leo) =
in order to study the interstellar absorption line clouds which lies in =
the line of sight to that star.  The observations were completed as =
planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 6276 (Peculiar and Interacting Galaxies (WC01): =
Cycle 5)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-6745.  The =
spatial resolution afforded by the HST is expected to reveal important =
facts concerning the nature of this object.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
