	43 Hubble Space Telescope Rocco Fazzari, (The Space Lemon), c.1990. Pen & ink drawing, signed lower right, 18 x 26.5cm. During the flight of the space shuttle Discovery in April 1990, the crew deployed the Hubble Space Telescope. Soon afterwards controllers found that the telescope was flawed by a "spherical aberration", a microscopically small mirror defect (1/25th the width of a human hair), that prevented Hubble from focusing all light to a single point. At first many believed that the spherical aberration would cripple the 13m long telescope, and NASA received much negative publicity at the time. However, it was corrected on a later service mission, and Hubble made many important astronomical discoveries even with the aberration (including images of galaxy M87) (see www.avstop.com).	$490

	45 Prince Henry Hospital, NSW Four photographs by Sam Hood, 1934. Silver gelatin prints, studio stamp, each 15 x 19.2cm. Formerly known as the Coast Hospital, this hospital at Little Bay, Sydney, NSW had its name changed in 1934 following the visit of HRH Henry, Duke of Gloucester. These four photographs show HRH accompanied by W.M. (Billy) Hughes, then Minister for Health and Repatriation, and B. Stevens, as well as medical staff. In one photograph HRH and Hughes carry top hats (possibly following the renaming ceremony). However the hats are not visible in the other three photographs, which show the official tour of the hospital facilities. The Hospital has now been closed and the land is to be used for housing.
