PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 05/28/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 05/29/96

Daily Status Report as of 150/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOC/96 6349 (Snapshot Search for High Redshift QSOs with =
Far-UV Flux)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make snapshot images of =
the quasi-stellar object Q1453-195.  This is to determine if this high =
redshifted object has a far ultraviolet flux.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed FOS/RD 6704 (Dust in the Bond-Line Regions of Seyfert =
Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side)was used to make =
observations of the Seyfert galaxy NGC-3786 in order to study the dust in =
its Bond-Lines region.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and =
no anomalies were noted

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6183 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: =
Decon)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make some internal flat, K-Spot, and dark =
calibration images.  The purpose is to define decontamination procedures =
to be run during Cycle 5. A calibration image of object 0Z-010 was also =
taken.  The calibration observations were completed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were reported.

   1.4 Completed GHRS/2 6493 (Accretion in the Interacting Binary UX =
Monoceros)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
observations of the accretion in the interacting contact binary star =
system HD65607 (aka, UX Monoceros).  As noted in yesterday's report, the =
FHST update just before the initiation of this proposal failed.  =
Otherwise, the observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems =
were reported. 

   1.5 Completed FOS/BL 6433 (Ne Absorption Lines in the Spectrum of the =
QSO HS 1700+6416)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
observations of the quasi-stellar object HS-1700+646 looking for =
absorption lines from Ne.  The observations were completed as planned, =
and no problems were reported.

   1.6 Completed FOC/96 6306 (Supernova Light Echoes)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make observations of =
supernovae remnant SM1960L in order to study its light echoes.  Measuring =
the separation of the echo from the site of the supernova gives a direct =
measure of the distance to the parent galaxy.  The echoes are expected to =
be very blue, and highly polarized.  The observations were completed as =
planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.7 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.
