PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 11/14/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 11/15/96

Daily Status Report as of 320/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two sets of FOS/BL 6407 (Post Asymptotic Giant Branch =
Evolution in the Magellanic Clouds)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
ultraviolet spectrographic observations of planetary nebulae LMC-SMP41 =
and LMC_SMP54 which are located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.  These =
data should give the spatial structure, size, ionized masses, and dynamic =
ages of these objects.  The observations were executed as planned, and no =
problems were reported. 

   1.2 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.

   1.3 Completed GHRS/2 6571 (Carbon and Convective Mixing in Hot Helium =
Rich White Dwarf Stars)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the Helium rich, white dwarf star =
PG0112+104 in order to study its interior structure and convective mixing =
by analyzing the Carbon abundances in its spectrum.  A wavelength =
calibration image was also taken.  The guide star loss of lock mentioned =
in 2.1 occurred near the end of this proposal.  Preliminary indications =
are that the proposal may not have been affected.  Otherwise, the =
observations completed, and no further anomalies were noted.

   1.4 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 nuclus (AGN) MS0135.4+0.  =
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.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6934 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Photometric Zero-Point)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of standard star =
GRW+70D582 in order to complete a zero-point calibration observation.  =
The purpose of this program is to verify synthetic zero-point of the =
WF/PC-2 filters.  The observation was executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted. 

   1.6 Completed GHRS/2 6748 (Abundances of Very Heavy Elements in the =
Early Galaxy III)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
observations of the very old, metal poor, halo star HD115444.  From these =
spectra, the abundances of irridium, lead, platinum, and osmium will be =
determined.  These elements are synthesized in stellar interiors by =
either rapid or slow neutron capture processes.  The observations were =
completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 10
                                        Successful : 10

       As documented in HSTAR 5797, there was a guide star loss of lock =
at 319/130909Z.
