Scientific paper

A 10-m-reflector, operating as a 37-pixel camera, has been used to observe the Crab Nebula in TeV gamma rays. Using the Cerenkov imaging technique to reject over 98 percent of the background, a detection is reported at the 9 sigma level, with further confirmation from an upgraded camera system. The estimated flux from this source is 1.8 x 10 to the -11th photons/sq cm sec above 0.7 TeV.
