Scientific paper

Ground-based telescopes play a role that is complementary to satellite based gamma ray detectors and are expected to provide a rich data set in the 50 GeV-1 TeV region. Heliostat arrays provide a way of making sensitive observations in this energy regime at an economical cost. With close to 2000 heliostat mirrors, the Keck Solar Two Gamma Ray Observatory near Barstow, CA, is the largest such facility in the world, and thus has the potential of being one of the most sensitive gamma ray detectors. A 32-channel camera is now operational: we discuss the current status and future prospects for the instrument. .
