The Cygnus experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory has been designed to study, with high angular accuracy, point sources of gamma rays above 10/sup 14/ eV. The experimental detector consists of an air shower array to observe gamma ray showers and a shielded, large area track detector to study the muon content of the showers. In this paper we present preliminary data from the array and describe its performance.
