Scientific paper

The operation and the construction of a Compton telescope for the low energy gamma range are reported. The energy resolution of the telescope is 30% for about 1 MeV, its angular resolution plus or minus 20 deg. Notwithstanding its low detection probability of about 0.5%, the vertical gamma quantum flux could be measured, and the extragalactic origin of the diffuse components of the cosmic gamma radiation could be indicated during two balloon flights.
