Our research team is developing a balloon-borne telescope system for optical remote sensing of planets. To obtain high-quality imaging data from planets, pointing-control technology is indispensable. Our team has continued developing pointing-control systems for balloon-borne telescopes. This paper reports the characteristics of our pointing-control system and describes a performance-improvement method for future development.
