Far infrared observations with a 1-m balloon-borne telescopeProperties of a balloon-borne inertially guided telescope designed to perform high-resolution mapping of far-IR sources are reviewed. Scientific results obtained to date are presented in terms of the sensitivity and angular resolution achieved. The objects observed and mapped include Orion A, W3, M43, OMC-2, NGC 7538, the infrared star IRC+10216, Uranus, and M82. Several modifications of the telescope are described which have markedly increased its IR sensitivity and its efficiency in acquiring sources.
