title: Astronomical observations with the FAUST telescope.
abstract: The far-ultraviolet space telescope (FAUST) was flown on Spacelab 1 to provide wide-field imaging in the wavelength range 1300 to 1800 angstroms.  Most of the developed film showed high levels of background exposure.  Frames with a lower background included exposures of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant and an exposure in the direction of the galaxy cluster Abell 2634.  Several exposures will be used in a search for hot white dwarf stars.
