We performed a couple of balloon experiments to measure the size and the location of Cyg-X-1 using the techniques of the modulation collimator [1]. The angular periods of the modulation collimator were 26′ and 10′ for the respective flights corresponding to the approximate angular resolutions of the size determination and location, 3′ and 1′ respectively. Preliminary results of the experiment with 3′ resolution are reported here.
