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) MS1519.8-0 and =
MS2159.8-0.  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.

   1.2 Completed Four Sets of WF/PC-2 7022 (WF/PC-2 SM97 Monitor)

       This calibration proposal is the routine internal monitor for =
WF/PC-2, to be run twice weekly to monitor the health of the cameras.  A =
variety of internal exposures were obtained in order to provide a monitor =
of the integrity of the CCD camera electronics in both bays (gain 7 and =
gain 15), a test for quantum efficiency in the CCDs, an internal check on =
the alignment of the WF/PC-2 optical chain, and a monitor for possible =
buildup of contaminants on the CCD windows.  This observation was =
completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6726 (PC Astrometry of the Brown Dwarf Candidate =
PPL-15).

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep, far-red  astrometric =
observations of the field around the brown dwarf candidate PPL-15. Based =
of its radial velocity, the target is thought to be a member of the =
Pleiades star cluster.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and =
no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed FGS 6920 (Monitor the Long-Term Stability of FGS #3)

       FGS #3 was used in the POS mode to make observations of reference =
star OF975 (Which is located in cluster M-35) and several other reference =
stars in order monitor the long-term internal stability of the FGSs.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed FGS 6879 (Parallax of TV-Col)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of the x-ray =
variable star TV-Col to obtain its precise parallax measurements.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.6 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 IR23128-59.  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.

   1.7 Completed Two Sets of FGS 7026 (Fold Flat 3 (FF3) Position =
Optimization for FGS-1R)

       The FGSs were used to make FF3 C FGS-1R S-curves which will be =
optimized to achieve a modulation within 10 percent of the maximum =
accepted value at a particular field location and to produce an =
acceptable set of S-curves over the entire FGS field of view (FOV).  The =
folding flat mirror was adjusted using realtime commands from the ground. =
 The observations were completed as planned and no problems were =
reported. 

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 6837 (The Ultraviolet Properties of "Dwarf" =
Seyfert 1 Nuclei)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet observations of the =
"dwarf", type one, Seyfert galaxy NGC-4750.  This class of "dwarf" =
Seyfert populate the faint end of the local AGN luminosity function and =
hold important clues to the evolution of the entire AGN population.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.9 Completed STIS/CCD 7092 (CCD Dark Rate and Read Noise)

       Observations were taken to measure CCD dark current and to gather =
data for making super darks.  The observations were completed as planned, =
and no anomalies were reported. 

   1.10 Completed NIC/1 7041 (NICMOS Coarse Optical Alignment)

       The Near Infrared Camera/1 was used to make observations of the =
cluster NGC-3603 in order to complete coarse optical alignment of the =
system.  The purpose of this activity is to perform a series of iterative =
adjustments of the NICMOS pupil alignment mechanism to establish the =
initial optical alignment in focus and tilt for its cameras.  The =
observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported. 

   1.11 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 7019 (WF/PC-2 SMOV Flat Field =
Check)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain a sequences of Earth streak and =
internal flats to check for changes at the 1% level.  The observations =
were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported
