An abondoned solar power plant has been converted to an instrument for measuring the Cherenkov light component of extensive air showers induced by cosmic particles. The Atmospheric Gamma Ray Observatory (AGRO) has been operating during the Winter months of 2001-02 and a large sample of Cherenkov events has been collected. Our prelimary results indicate an excess of gamma ray showers emanating from the direction of the Crad Nebula, which is a known gamma ray source and the standard candle of gamma ray astrophysics. Detailed analysis of the data requires careful simulations of the optical properties of the atmosphere, mirror systems and detection elements. I will describe these techniques and present preliminary application to the spectrum from the Crab Nebula.
