Scientific paper

Balloon-borne MPI Compton telescope data are used to derive an image of the anticenter region of the galaxy between right ascension 50 and 110 deg and declination +10 and +50 deg, in the 1.1-10 MeV energy range. Significantly enhanced gamma-ray emission is observed along the galactic plane from 160 to 197 deg, with part of the emission being due to the Crab Nebula. No significantly enhanced gamma-ray emission is observed from the direction of the high energy gamma-ray source Geminga, or from the Seyfert galaxy MCG 8-11-11, which was recently reported to be a soft gamma-ray source. The diffuse galactic gamma-ray emission limit determined leads to restrictions of the spectrum of interstellar cosmic ray electrons at MeV energies.
