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.
