The observations of the imaging program, concerning a total of approximately 50 sq. degrees of the sky, are reported. The observations are performed with a 40 cm balloon borne telescope. It has a limit of visual magnitude above 20 for blue objects. For an inflight image resolution of 13 arcsec the bulk of the observations concern field galaxies, cluster of galaxies and a few galactic globular clusters. An automated reduction technique allows numeric summation of night sky limited individual exposures to reach an equivalent observing time which may reach one hour. Results concerning the space distribution of horizontal branch stars up to the central part of the globular cluster M13 and the star formation activity of galaxies member of the cluster Abell 1367 are presented.
