“…As described in Edwards et al (1992), the University of Adelaide has operated a VHE gamma-ray telescope near Woomera since 1988. Briefly, the Bicentennial Gamma-Ray Telescope (BIGRAT) consists of three 4.1m diameter composite mirrors on a common alt-azimuth mount.…”

The CANGAROO project incorporates two Čerenkov imaging telescopes at Woomera to obtain stereo images of very high-energy gamma-ray (and cosmic-ray) showers. The first stereo observations, with one imaging system, were made in March 1992, and preliminary stereo imaging observations began in July 1992. This paper describes the stereo imaging technique, the sources under investigation, and the indications from the first data sets.
