High resolution Reticon spectra of MgH (A2π-X2Σ+) (0, 0) and (1, 1) lines at λλ5134 - 5137 Å are used to determine the relative abundances of magnesium isotopes in halo stars. Spectrum synthesis calculations are applied to the 24 halo G and K observed stars with metal abundances in the range 1.5 < [Fe/H] < 0.0. Values close to solar ratios 24Mg:25Mg:26Mg = 79:10:11 are generally found. The odd-even effect is only present to a small extent, the predictions from purely explosive conditions are not met and therefore a production of neutrons probably during hydrostatic shell carbon burning must be important.
