PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 12/09/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 12/10/96

Daily Status Report as of 345/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 6344 (Low - Mass Binaries in the Hyades - =
Completing the Survey)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the low mass binary =
star RHY271 (M-Class Dwarf Stars) which is located in the Hyades Cluster. =
 The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 6902 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Photometric Calibration =
Monitor UV/OPT STD)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make both ultraviolet and optical =
photometric observations of the standard star GRW+70D582 as part of a =
Cycle 6 calibration procedure.  These observations were done immediately =
before and after decontamination procedures.  The observations were =
completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 

   1.3 Completed GHRS/1 6707 (M-33: An Archetypal QSO Absorption Line =
Galaxy)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
observations of the C IV, Si IV, and Si II spectrographic absorption =
lines in QSO Q0123+3121 whose light passes through the galaxy  M-33.  =
This allows for one to probe into the interstellar medium in outer disk =
and halo of galaxy M-33.  A wavelength calibration image was also taken.  =
The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were noted. 

   1.4 Completed Three 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 6472 (Dynamical Masses for the Stars in the =
Pre-Main-Sequence Classification)

       FGS #3 was used in both the TRANS and POS to make astrometric =
observations of the pre-main-Sequence, binary system, star STAR-04560 =
(aka, 045251+3016).  These data will be used to measure its dynamical =
mass ratio of the pair, and the inclination of their orbits.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.6 Completed FOC/48 6308 (Long Slit Spectroscopy of the Narrow Line =
Region of Seyfert Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/48) was used to make long slit =
spectrographic observations of the narrow line region of Seyfert galaxy =
MRK-3.  The slit was placed at several different positions across the =
nuclear region of the target.  An internal flat and a dark calibration =
image were also taken.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and =
no anomalies were reported.

   1.7 Completed GHRS/2 6899 (GHRS Cycle 6 Echelle Wavelength Monitor)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to execute a =
wavelength calibration observation of its Echelle spectrograph using an =
internal standard lamp.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and =
no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 6712 (The Gaseous Extent of Galaxies: How Far is =
Too Far?)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of quasar Q1001+2901 which is located in a =
field of galaxies in which the proposers have carried out extensive =
redshift surveys.  A wave length calibration image was also taken.  The =
observations were completed as planned and no problems were noted.
