1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 6749 (A Study of the Gaseous Halo of the =
Andromeda Galaxy)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make absorption line spectrographic =
observations of object QSO 0035+4112 which is located behind the  =
Andromeda Galaxy (aka, M-31) in order to study the galaxy's gaseous halo. =
 The QSO's light passes through the galaxy.  The distribution, =
ionization, and kinematics of the gas will be investigated.  The =
observations were completed as planned and no anomalies were reported.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 7553 (Pure Parallel Archive Survey =
II)

       WF/PC-2 parallel observations were obtained in the ultraviolet to =
search for interesting objects.  This program is designed to find =
extragalactic sources with near ultraviolet excesses (3000 A0) outside =
the galactic plane and far ultraviolet sources (1600 A0) in the galactic =
plane.   The procedure was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
reported. 

   1.3 Completed GHRS/1 6499 (The Relationship Between Lyman-Alpha Clouds =
and Galaxies at z < 0.3)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
observations of quasar PG1116+215 in order to study the hydrogen =
Lyman-Alpha lines.  This is to fine out if the Lyman-Alpha clouds are =
associated with luminous galaxies.  The observations were completed as =
planned, and no problems were reported. 

   1.4 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.
