Abstract
The first coded-aperture images of the galactic center region at energies above 30 keV
reveal two strong 7-ray sources. One source is tentatively identified as the X-ray source
1El740.7-2942. If this source is at the distance of the galactic center, it is one of the most
luminous objects in the galaxy at energies from 35 to 200 keV. The second source is consistent
in location with the X-ray source GX354-0. No significant flux was detected from
the direction of the galactic nucleus (Sgr A*).
