Scientific paper

The 10 m reflector at the Mt. Hopkins Observatory (altitude 2.3 km) has been used in a multiple beam configuration to scan the celestial sphere for point sources of 100 to 1000 GeV gamma rays. During the period December 1974 to September 1976, almost the entire sky between declinations (-10 deg) and (+70 deg) has been surveyed at least once. Results of some 800 hrs of observations are reported; the emphasis was on a search for discrete sources at the lowest energies.
