The COMPTEL instrument on GRO is designed to image celestial gamma radiation in the approximately 0.7-30 MeV region of nuclear lines. Within a large field of view of about 1 sr its angular resolution of about 1 deg enables mapping of extended emission and location of (strong) point sources to an accuracy of better than 0.5 deg. The Galactic center region was observed by COMPTEL for a 2-week period in July 1991. Here we report the detection of the line at 1.8 MeV attributed to Al-26, addressing in particular the extent of the emission and the 1.8 MeV line flux.
