SuperBIT is a balloon-suspended optical and near-UV wide-field telescope that has been
developed for a Long Duration Balloon flight in the near future. It has a 0.1 square degree field of view, with 0.6 arcsecond pixels, and frequency coverage from 300 nm to 1100 nm. The capabilities of the instrument will be discussed, as well as the current status of the experiment after its fourth successful test flight from Timmins Ontario in Sept 2019. Preliminary images and results will be shown from this most recent test flight as well as the previous ones.
