Abstract
Images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) suffer from overcorrected spherical aberration1. The optical designs of the second generation instruments, such as the Wide Field/Planetary Camera (WFPC-2), the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), and the Near Infrared Camera (NIC), are being modified to correct or compensate the spherical aberration of the HST.
