Scientific paper

The role of the atmospheric Cherenkov technique in the development of Very High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy is described; it is shown that the Crab Nebula has played a critical role in this development. The ability of a TeV telescope to see a 5 sigma signal from a source in an hour of observation is now a reality. Sources as weak as 1/20th the strength of the Crab are detectable in principle now at TeV energies.
