Abstract
Current approaches to the identification of VHE gamma rays using stere o images of Cerenkov light flashes are reviewed. The method of analysi s developed by the University of Durham group involving a measure of c ascade development is described. This method is applied to observation s of a burst of VHE gamma rays from AE Aqr and enhancement of the gamm a ray signal is demonstrated.
