Hard X‐ray observations using balloon borne instruments are quite competitive on the basis of sesitivity comparison. This paper describes spectral results of some of the binary X‐ray sources obtained by using a scintillation counter telescope having a 3 σ sensitivity of ∼10 —6 cm —2 s —1 keV —1 for 3 hour observation.
