Scientific paper

The atmospheric Cerenkov technique for the detection of Very High Energy (VHE) gamma rays is outlined. The construction, performance and sensitivity of the ground based gamma ray telescopes operating at Narrabri, New South Wales, Australia and La Palma, Canary Islands are described. A method for optimizing the distribution of mirror area is developed. The choice of the acceptance angle and the focal length are discussed.
