A little bit, what do you want to know?
Most of the astronomy flights were done by the US Navy. Stargazer carried a 12.5 inch telescope mounted on top of the gondola, and it had some sort of star traking mechanism, though I'm not sure how it worked. Previous to Stargazer, there were the Stratoscope flights. Stratoscope I was unmanned and carried a 12 inch reflector, and Stratoscope II carried a 36 inch reflector, made especially for infra-red observation of Mars.
Cheers,
Jason.
