This paper describes the balloon-flight version of a low energy gamma-ray telescope developed in collaboration by the Milan and Southampton groups. The instrument embodies a Compton-coincidence system comprising an upper liquid scintillator and a large sodium iodide crystal. This detector is mounted inside a semiactive shielding system which collimates the incident photons. The telescope is mounted in an orientation system which has a pointing accuracy of better than 0.5 degree. The instrument has been extensively tested using beams of gamma-rays, neutrons and high energy protons.
