Extension of gamma-ray astronomy to energies above the practical range of the Gamma Ray Observatory will require an instrument with an effective area of greater than 10 square meters, exposure times of several weeks, and enough mass to contain gamma-ray generated electromagnetic showers greater than 5 GeV. A relatively modest water Cherenkov detector located on the moon could meet these criteria and would have some advantages over conventional techniques. A possible detector configuration is discussed.
