Scientific paper

In connection with construction of the Tien-Shan gamma-ray telescope for studies of point sources in TeV/PeV energy range, the angular resolution of seven timing Cherenkov detectors is calculated. Monte Carlo simulations shown that 0.10-0.15 degree angular resolution could be obtained for a gamma-quanta of 10 TeV which coming inside the circle of radius of r<100 m from the center of telescope, ~0.15 degree for r<200 m and ~0.20 degree for r<300 m. The precision of determination of the shower core position is better when using the lateral Cherenkov light distribution than when the curvature of shower surface is used.
