PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 02/04/98 - 0000Z (UTC) 02/05/98

Daily Status Report as of 036/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed 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.

   1.2 Completed FOC/96 6930 (FOC Neutral Density Filter Calibrations)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to observations of NGC-5139
to make neutral density filter calibration observations.  Observations of
the core of R136A will provide a wide-range of magnitudes and a large
number of stars for the analysis, along with direct comparison with
previous calibrations done at different wavelengths.  An internal flat and
a dark calibration image were also taken.  The observations were completed
as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of NIC/2/3 7907 (NICMOS Pure Parallel Winter 97-98)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras Two and Three) was used to make
pure parallel spectrographic observations of sky regions when another
instrument is prime.  The observations were completed as planned, and no
anomalies were reported.

   1.4 Completed NIC/1/2/3 7246 (Line Imaging of the L1448-Star Shock Region)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two, and Three) was used to
make observations of the star shock region of L1448-4.  The bow shock
associated with this infrared source star is one of the best examples of
the interaction of an outflow from a recently formed star with the
surrounding medium.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed STIS/CCD 7803 (Daily Darks to Update Acquisition Bad Pixel
Table Part III)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make
daily dark calibration updates.  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 completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.6 Completed STIS/CCD 7910 (STIS Extragalactic Parallel Survey)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make
extragalactic slitless spectrographic observations as part of the parallel
high galactic latitude survey to search for emission line galaxies.  Data
was taken in parallel, and not subject to proprietary time.  The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 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.  A wave length calibration image was also
taken.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
noted.

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

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make
observations of standard star UZ-Tau 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.

   1.9 Completed STIS/CCD 7911 (STIS Galactic Plane Pure Parallel Program)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make low
galactic latitude survey observations in parallel with the prime science
observations.  Short exposures with the 50CCD imaging mode will provide the
wavelength zero-point calibration.  These data will be placed immediately
into the Hubble Data Archive.  The observations were executed as scheduled,
and no anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed STIS/CCD/WF/PC-2 7367 (Multi-wavelength Imaging of
Circumstellar Disks in the Orion Nebula)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) and the WF/PC-2 was
used to make multi-wavelength imaging of circumstellar disks (NGC-1976)
seen as silhouettes against the bright emission-line background in the
Orion Nebula.  With these data one should be able to examine the radial
structure of the disks in great detail, and over a wide spatial extent.
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)
|10|
       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 H14-Cen which is located within the Large
Magellanic Cloud in order to study their 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 7819 (A New Stellar Generation in 30 Doradus)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two and Three) was used to
make observations of the 30-Doradus nebula.  There is ample evidence for
current star formation within this nebula, which appears to have been
triggered by the massive central cluster {R136}, in and just beyond the
curved nebular filaments surrounding it.  The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.13 Completed STIS/CCD 7739 (Star Formation in the Prototype Super Star
Cluster R136)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CDD) was used to study the
star formation in the prototype super star cluster R136.  Similarly extreme
objects have now been recognized in more distant galaxies, and may in fact
be the young analogs of globular clusters.  Several offset images and a
wave length calibration image were also taken.   The observations were
completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.
