The 10-m optical reflector at Mt. Hopkins, Ariz., was used to search for cosmic γ radiation from pulsars by detection of atmospheric Čerenkov light generated by energetic particle showers. In the energy region of 1011–1012 eV, no evidence of pulsed γ-ray emission was found from either NP0532 (Crab Nebula) or CP1133.
