Abstract
CANGAROO group constructed an imaging air Cherenkov telescope (CANGAROO-II) in March 1999 atWoomera, South Australia to observe celestial gamma-rays in hundreds GeV region. It has a 7m parabolic mirror consisting of 60 small plastic spherical mirrors, and the prime focus is equipped with a multi-pixel camera of 512 PMTs covering the field of view of 3 degrees. We report initial performance of the telescope.
