During the Compton Observatory survey of the sky in 1991-92,
the EGRET high-energy gamma ray telescope observed this region
several times.
We will present a synoptic description of the region with
particular attention to the point sources observed
and their variability.
At such moderate galactic latitudes the galactic diffuse background
is an important factor, but it does not dominate the point sources as
it does nearer the galactic plane.
We will compare the theoretical model of the diffuse
emission with the observations.
