Abstract A map of the galactic center region in the 1.8 MeV gamma-ray line from radioactive Al26 was derived from balloon flight data of the MPI Compton telescope. The image of the observed region of the sky is consistent with a point source origin at l = 1° ± 4°, b = −30 ± 4°. Diffuse emission models from unresolved candidate sources like supernovae, novae, Wolf-Rayet stars, and massive stars fit our data worse than a point source, but cannot be rejected definitely.
