PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 12/01/97 - 0000Z (UTC) 12/02/97

Daily Status Report as of 336/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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 its 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.

   1.2 Completed STIS/CCD 7672 (STIS CCD Sensitivity Monitor)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make
observations of standard star AGK+81D266 in order to monitor the
sensitivity of each CCD grating mode to detect any change due to
contamination or other causes.  The observations were completed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed NIC/2/3 7812 (NICMOS Modified Short One Orbit Parallel)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras Two and Three) was used to obtains
"JH" imaging of sky regions when another instrument is prime.  Two dither
positions are obtained for each filter.  The observations were completed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.4 Completed Two 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.

   1.5 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 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.

   1.6 Completed Two Sets of STIS/MA2 7604 (Cycle 7 MAMA Dark Measurements)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (MA2) was used to make MAMA
dark measurements.  These darks will be used in later image reductions and
also trended over the instrument's life time as an indicator of the
detector's degradation or damage.  The observations were completed as
scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.7 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-7690.  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.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2/STIS/MA1 7308 (HST FAR-UV Imaging and Spectra of
Jupiter's Aurora Coordinated With Galileo)

       The WF/PC-2 and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (MA1) were
used to make far-ultraviolet imaging and spectral observations of the
aurora near both poles of the planet Jupiter at the same time as scheduled
Galileo spacecraft measurements of Jupiter's magnetospheric properties and
ultraviolet emissions over summer/fall 1997.  Approximately two hours into
this almost three hour proposal, the STIS MCE-1 reset occurred which has
been described in yesterday's report and in HSTAR 6258.  As a result, five
observations were lost.  No further anomalies were reported.

   1.9 Completed NIC/1/2/3 7608 (NICMOS Focus Monitoring)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two, and Three) was used to
determine and monitor the optimal focus and tilt settings for all three
NICMOS cameras by making observations of cluster NGC-3603.  This proposal
is built to run NIC1/2/3 sweeps on a 2-week basis.  The observations
completed without incident with no reported anomalies.

   1.10 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.

   1.11 Completed WF/PC-2/STIS/CCD/NIC/1/2 7307 (The Formation and
Evolution of Rich Star Clusters in the LMC)

       The WF/PC-2, the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD), and the
Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One and Two) were used to make observations
of the rich star cluster H11 which is located within the Large Magellanic
Cloud in order to study its formation and evolution.  These observations
will help us understand the origin and evolution of rich star clusters in
our own Galaxy.  The observations were complete as scheduled, and no
anomalies were reported.

   1.12 Completed NIC/1/2/3 7417 (NICMOS and WF/PC-2 Imaging of a New
Beta-Pic-like Circumstellar Dust Disk)

        The Near Infrared Camera (Camera One, Two and Three) was used to
make observations of the Beta-Pic-like circumstellar dust disk Mon-R2.  The
sub-arcsecond resolution of structure will show if the disk is perturbed by
embedded objects and/or a central hole is cleared by tidal interaction of
the binary star on the disk.  The observations were executed as scheduled,
and no anomalies were noted.

   1.13 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.

   2.3 Operations Notes:

       Following the STIS MCE-1 reset at 335/053513Z, the STIS logs were

the next high voltage turn on at 335/1654Z, using ROP NS-14.
