PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 11/21/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 11/22/96

Daily Status Report as of 327/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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 =
reported.

   1.2 Completed FOS/BL 6683 (Eclipsing Binaries in the Magellanic Clouds =
- Fundamental Properties A)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of O/B Class, eclipsing binary system star =
SMC-HV1620 located in the Small Magellanic Cloud.  From these data and =
the latest Kurucz model atmospheres, accurate temperatures will be =
derived.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted. 

   1.3 Completed FOS/BL 6799 (The BAL Region Covering Factor in a Sample =
of IRAS-Selected QSOs)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of QSO MARK231 in order to determine the =
criteria by which the presence of BALs in the spectra may be predicted.  =
The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were =
reported. 

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of 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.

   1.5 Completed FGS 6921 (Intermediate Plate Scale Calibration)

       The FGSs were used in the POS Mode to make astrometric =
observations of star GRW+77D582 and several other reference stars.  These =
data will be used for an intermediate plate scale calibration of the =
central region of the FGSs, where all the annual parallax work is done.  =
The reference stars were taken from the HIPPARCOS observing list.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed FOS/RD 6925 (FOS Observations of Solar Analog Standards)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make absolute =
spectrophotmetry observations of the solar analog star P041C-cali in the =
spectral range of 2200 A0 to 8500 A0.  The objective is to provide the =
primary standards for the absolute calibration of the NICMOS.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6802 (Cosmology With the Medium Deep Survey)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations taken in parallel with =
the prime science observations as part of the Medium Deep Sky Survey.  =
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were =
reported.

   1.8 Completed FOS/BL 6546 (Dissecting the wind and Disk of the =
Nova-like Variable V347 Puppus)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
observations of the nova-like, variable star V347 Puppus in order to =
study its disk and to dissect its winds.  The ultraviolet resonance =
spectral lines indicate that this type of cataclysmic variable suffers a =
high mass loss rate in the form of high velocity winds.  The observations =
were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.9 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 7203 (Cosmology with the Medium Deep =
Survey - Short Orbit Cases)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to take short (about 20 minute) exposures, to =
be taken in parallel with the prime science observations, using the I =
filter.  These exposures are part of the medium-deep survey, which =
emphasizes exposures that will be useful in obtaining cosmological =
parameters.  The observations were completed as planned, and no problems =
were reported.
