Ground-based Gamma-ray Astronomy with the Imaging Atmospheric
Cherenkov Technique

Over the past decade the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT) has
been successfully used to identify TeV gamma-rays from a variety of celestial
sources. Today the TeV catalog comprises a myriad of galactic and
extra-galactic objects; including pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants and
blazars. In this talk I will describe the IACT, review its current status and
provide some details on a recent search for pulsed emission from the Crab
pulsar.
