The paper describes balloon observations of bremsstrahlung X-rays carried out by the University of Calgary over the past decade which deal with morphological studies of auroral electron precipitation. The program concentrated on the understanding of the correlation between parent electrons and secondary X-rays, the study of microbursts, east-west and north-south extent of electron precipitation, and precipitation during pulsating auroras.
