The Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) is a new ground-based detector presently under construction for γ-rays between 50 and 250 GeV. STACEE's low energy threshold gives it access to the unexplored energy regime between satellite and other existing ground-based telescopes. We present preliminary results from observations of the Crab Nebula and pulsar from November 1998 to February 1999 using the partially completed STACEE detector. Using thirty-two heliostat mirrors of what will eventually be a sixty-four mirror array, we detect γ-rays from the Crab Nebula at a significance of +7 for approximately 50 hours of on-source observations.
