Scientific paper

Observations of photons at E >=550 GeV from the Crab Nebula are presented and used to assess the potential of multi-telescope systems for gamma-ray astronomy. The Whipple observatory 10 m and 8 m imaging atmospheric Čerenkov telescopes have been used to provide a stereoscopic view of air showers to make a more complete measurement of air shower parameters. Here we present a measurement of the spread in the arrival direction of primary gamma-rays originating from a point source. The data show that the shower arrival direction can be reconstructed with an accuracy of sigma= 0.^∘14.
