Abstract:	The Vela region is a promising target for the detection of 1.8 MeV gamma-rays emitted by the decays of radioactive 26Al isotopes produced in hydrostatic or explosive stellar nucleosynthesis processes. COMPTEL has claimed 1.8 MeV gamma-ray detection from Vela at a 3sigma level with a flux of 3.6 10^-5 ph/cm^2/s. In this paper, we present first results of our search for 1.8 MeV gamma-rays from Vela with the spectrometer SPI aboard INTEGRAL. Using the data set acquired during 1.7 Ms at the end of 2005 in the frame of our AO-3 open-time observation, we determine a flux of (6.5 pm 1.9(stat) pm 2.4(syst)) 10^-5 ph/cm^2/s from 26Al decays in the Vela region.
