A 19-element system installed on a 10-m optical telescope in September 1982 to be used for studies in cosmic-ray physics and gamma-ray astronomy is described, and the results of Monte Carlo simulations with the camera are discussed. The camera operates in the 3500-5000 A region and has a full field of 3.5 degrees; the electronic characteristics include a 1-microsecond resolution, absolute time of + or - 0.05 ms, 64 bytes per event, and a maximum trigger rate of 8 kHz. The simulation showers were performed for zenith angles of 0, 30, and 60 deg; parameters describing the light patterns for the background are defined.
