Abstract
The quasar PKS0528+134 was observed to flare by the energetic gamma-ra y experiment (EGRET) gamma-ray telescope on the Compton gamma-ray obse rvatory during the viewing period 213 (VP213). The Compton telescope d ata from VP213 have been reanalyzed by using the direct demodulation m ethod, Images of the source are obtained at energies above 3 MeV and t he time variability in the energy range 10-30 MeV is consistent with t he result of EGRET. There is no spectral break at energies above 3 MeV during the flare.
