    CELESTE is an atmospheric Cherenkov telescope based on the sampling method which makes use of the decommissioned THEMIS solar electrical plant in the French Pyrénées. A large (2000 m 2 ) mirror surface area from 40 independent heliostates followed by a secondary optic, a trigger using analog summing techniques and signal digitalization with 1 GHz flash ADCs make possible the detection of cosmic gamma-ras down to 30 GeV.
