Scientific paper

A telescope system and some of the results of a study of hard X-rays from celestial X-ray sources using balloon-borne NaI/CsI phoswich scintillator telescopes are described. The phoswich technique reduces the non X-ray background by a factor of about 10 at balloon altitudes. The telescope had a microprocessor-based tracking system to automatically follow celestial sources in azimuth and elevation according to a predetermined schedule.
