VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System), an array of ground-based gamma-ray telescopes in southern Arizona, USA, has been taking data in hardware stereo mode since March, 2006. The April-May 2006 dark run provided a large set of data from two telescopes on the known blazar Markarian (Mrk) 421. An initial analysis produced a light curve and preliminary cuts showing the two telescope array's angular resolution to be 0.19°. The remaining two VERITAS telescopes will be brought online by January, 2007.
