PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 10/21/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 10/22/96

Daily Status Report as of 296/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6361 (High Resolution Imaging of =
X-Ray Selected AGNs)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make high resolution  observations of the =
known low red shifted x-ray active galactic nuclei (AGN) MS0801.9+2 and =
MS1214.3+3.  These data will allow a study of the optical properties of =
an unbiased sample of AGN host galaxies.  The observations were completed =
as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.2 Completed Five Sets of FOS/BL 6913 (FOS Cycle 6: Location of =
Spectra and Wavelength Calibration)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make a =
series of stability calibration measurements of the wavelength location =
and the location of the spectra.  All the observations were internals.  =
The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were =
reported.

   1.3 Completed Three 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 reporte=
d.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6346 (Snapshot Survey of the Ultraluminous IRAS =
Galaxy Sample-Part 1 High)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot survey observations of the =
ultraluminous IRAS galaxy CL-ULIR024.  These data will be searched for =
multiple cores, which imply a merger has occurred, and for starburst =
regions. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6452 (Global and Temporal Coverage of a =
Atmospheric Regions of the Planet Jupiter)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of selected regions of =
the planet Jupiter in order to investigate its atmospheric dynamics.  =
These data will be used in the interpretations of the observations made =
from the Galileo Mission.  The observations were executed as scheduled, =
and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 6871 (AGN in Low Luminosity Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of the low luminosity galaxy =
NGC-404 and its associated Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN).  This is one of =
the nearest examples of a low luminosity active galactic nuclei in a =
small galaxy.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6909 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Calibration: Earth Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the bright Earth to =
obtain streak flats which are used to construct high quality flat fields =
for the WF/PC-2 filter set.  The observations were executed as scheduled, =
and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed FOS/BL 6682 (Geometry and Generalizability of the =
Reflected Light Model for Seyfert Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
spectropolarimetry observations of the Seyfert (class 2) galaxy Mark1210 =
in order to study its geometry and the generalizablity of its reflected =
light model.  The goal is to determine if the polarization components of =
all Seyfert class two galaxies have Seyfert class one characteristics.  =
The observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were =
reported.
