Scientific paper

The operation of the University of Durham Mark 6 atmospheric Čerenkov telescope is discussed. The telescope has been used to detect gamma rays at energies >=150 GeV and to achieve good discrimination between gamma ray and hadron initiated showers, using both conventional imaging and novel fluctuation measures. The telescope was commissioned in 1995 and a description of its operation is presented. Verification of the performance during observations of PSR B1706-44 is described.
