Abstract
It is shown that the errors of calibration coefficients of the multich annel imaging camera may be a reason for the spurious source if the se lection criteria for gamma-ray hashes are used. Besides that, the infl uence of bright stars and discriminator's threshold on the calculated gamma-ray Bur was also estimated. It is shown that the requirements fo r the equipment are rather high for accurate registration of faint (10 (-11) quanta cm(-2) s(-1)) gamma-ray flux of very high energy (10(12) eV). The calculations were made using a method of flash simulation.
