[for the black hole...]

I am curious about the plans for the Hubble Space Telescope
(not Hunter S. Thompson). Last night I had the reasonable
idea of using the HST to refine the cepheid variable-
hubble constant to a high(er) degree. Is the HST going to
be used for this kind of basic research? Of course, it is
appealing to think of pointing it at your favorite object
(M87), or simply `empty space', and waiting for the results.
If anyone knows some details, I would appreciate a line.
Thanks.
