PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 10/29/97 - 0000Z (UTC) 10/30/97

Daily Status Report as of 303/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Seven Sets of STIS/CC 7782 (STIS Non-Scripted Parallel
Archive Proposal - Half Orbit)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used for a
non-scripted parallel archive proposal (one-half orbit).  The observations
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed STIS/CCD 7802 (Daily Darks to Update Acquisition Bad Pixel
Table)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make
calibration observations to obtain daily darks to update the acquisition
bad pixel table.  These daily darks are intended to identify hot pixels for
update to the acquisition on-board FSW hot pixel table.  Daily hot pixel
lists can also be used for science data analysis.  The observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 7621 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 7 Supplemental
Darks PT1/3)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make supplemental dark calibration images.
This set of calibrations is intended to obtain three dark frames every day
to provide data for monitoring and characterizing the evolution of hot
pixels.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
noted.

   1.4 Completed STIS/CCD 7711 (STIS CCD G750L Fringing Flats.)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to
investigate and monitor the STIS CCD flat-field fringing in the G750L
grating at it's nominal wavelength setting {7751A}.  WAVECALs were also
taken at the same gain and wavelength setting.  Typical S/N = 100 for each
integration, and gain = 4 on each.  The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed NIC/2 7418 (Imaging of Younf Stellar Object Circumstellar
Nebulosity)

       WF/PC-2 observations have shown that several young stellar objects
in the nearby Taurus molecular clouds are seen only indirectly via
scattered light.  New NICMOS (Camera Two) images of HARO6-5B will be
compared with the existing WFPC2 images and with model reflection nebulae
to constrain the circumstellar density distributions. The dark absorption
lanes already seen in these systems suggest that the NICMOS images will
reveal edge-on disks similar to the HST results for HH 30, and thus allow
direct observation of the disk geometry.  The observations were completed
with no reported anomalies

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 7625 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 7 Earth Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a series of Earth flat calibration
images.  These flat fields will allow mapping of the OTA illumination
pattern and will be used in conjunction with previous internal and external
flats to generate new pipeline superflats.  The observations were completed
as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6905 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Calibration: Internal Monitor)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make several internal calibrations
observations including biases and internal flats as part of a Cycle 6
calibration procedure.  A variety of internal exposures are run weekly to
verify and monitor the health of the camera.  The observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed NIC/2 7331 (Near-IR Properties of the Bulges of Spiral
Galaxies)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Camera Two) was used to make infrared
observations of the bulge in spiral galaxy NGC-7188.  Near-IR data at HST
resolution are essential for correcting for the effect of dust and will
enable us to derive robust nuclear properties for the sample.  The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 7431 (Snapshot Survey of Microlensed Source Stars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot survey images of microlensed
source star Macho-95-1.  Gravitational microlensing surveys have revealed
an excess of lensing events over theoretical predictions toward both the
Large Magellanic Cloud and the galactic bulge.  The observations were
completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.10 Completed NIC/1/2 7243 (High Resolution Imaging of Io)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One and Two) was used to make
observations of Jupiter's moon Io.  The technique of super-resolution
imaging will be used to obtain near-IR images of Io with sufficient
resolution to map the surface on this volcanically active satellite of
Jupiter.  Observations were also made of standard star HD201592.  The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.11 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 7786 (Pure Parallel Archive Survey -
Continuation)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations as part of an archival
survey program in which the images were taken in parallel with the prime
science observations.  These WF/PC-2 parallel observations were obtained in
the ultraviolet in a search for interesting objects.  The observations were
completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.12 Completed Two Sets of FGS 7680 (FGS3 and FGS1R TRANS Mode Plate
Scale Calibration)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make astrometric observations
of the binary star UV-Ceti in order to perform a FGS #3 and FGS #1R TRANS
mode plate scale calibration.  Several GO programs have revealed an effect
where the measured separation of the components of a binary system is
sensitive to its orientation relative to the FGS interferometer axis, i.e.
HST roll.  The calibration observations were completed as planned, and no
problems were reported.

   1.13 Completed WF/PC-2 6868 (Super Flat Galactic Disks)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the super flat disk on
late-type galaxy UGC-711 which is located in our local super cluster.
These data will be suitable for studies of the structures of the disks as
well as properties of disk components, such as dark nebulae and star
clusters.  The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies
were reported.

   1.14 Completed NIC/1/2/3 7726 (NICMOS One Orbit Parallel)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two and Three) was used to
make a one orbit parallel calibration observations.  The observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.15 Completed Two Sets of STIS/CCD 7783 (STIS Parallel Science)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make
observations taken in parallel with the prime science.  The observations
were completed, and no problems were reported.

   1.16 Completed NIC/1/2/3 7729 (NICMOS Short One Orbit Parallel)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two, and Three) was used to
obtain "JHK" imaging of sky regions while another instrument was prime.
These observations were  part of the short NICMOS one-orbit parallel
program.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies
were noted.

   1.17 Completed NIC/2 7420 (A Near-Infrared Search for Very Low Mass
Companions to Stars Within 10 Parsecs of the Sun)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Camera Two) was used to make searching
observations for very low mass companions to variable star LHS3799.  This
star is known to be within 10 parsecs of the Sun.  The observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.18 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2/NIC/3 7382 (The Star-Formation
History of the Large Magellanic Cloud)

       The WF/PC-2 and the Near Infrared Camera (Camera Three) were used to
make observations of the disk of the Large Magellanic Cloud.  These data
will enable us to quantitativly study the intermediate to low-mass stellar
populations and the star-formation history of the LMC.  The observations
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.19 Completed STIS/CCD/MA1/MA2/NIC/3 7633 (HDF-South Test Observations)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (MA1 and MA2) and The Near
Infrared Camera (Camera Three) were used to make observations designed to
test the FGSs and the potential guide stars which may be acquired during
the October 1998 CVZ passage for the HDF-South.  Observations were made of
star HDFS-22333.  A wave length calibration image was also taken.  The
observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.
