Abstract:	The stability of the Hubble Space Telescope's diffraction-limited point spread function (PSF) is exploited by the observatory's complement of second generation instruments, NICMOS and STIS, to produce very high contrast direct and PSF-subtracted coronagraphic images of disks around young stars. The direct detection and imaging of disks in a variety of evolutionary stages with high spatial resolution (50-150 mas) in the optical and near-IR has yielded spatial information from the scattered light components of such disks in unprecedented detail.
