The Crab Nebula was the first steady VHE gamma-ray emitter discovered, and has recently been detected by the VERITAS gamma ray observatory. The 33 millisecond-period Crab Pulsar, located at the center of the plerion, is a spinning neutron star that provides most of the power needed for the broad-band emission spectrum of the nebula. Periodic emission by the pulsar has never been reliably detected in VHE gamma rays. In this talk, I will describe the detection of the steady state VHE gamma ray emission from the nebula. I will also describe the application of autocorrelation functions of several orders to optical data as a first step towards developing a technique for detecting periodic emission from the pulsar.
