Directly Imaging Extrasolar Planets?

[misterrachel]

I've looked around at proposed and future missions to search for extrasolar planets by looking for their wobble. <br /><br />Are there any plans for a telescope that has the capability of directly imaging extrasolar planets?

Yes, a number of telescopes should have that capability, at least for some of the bigger extrasolar planets. In fact, it's already been done.
