We report here the preliminary results of our observations of the sporadic X-binary system 4U0115+63. The CYGNUS air shower array has been collecting data since April 1986. No significant excess is seen from the direction of this source, nor any correlation with its 24-day orbital period. A 90% confidence-level upper limit on the flux from 4U0115+63 is 2.8{times}10{sup {minus}13} cm{sup {minus}2} s{sup {minus}1} above 50 TeV. This flux limit is considerably lower than those reported by other UHE experiments. Search for periodicity at the neutron star frequency is in progress.
