56 Summary We have been carrying out 4-telescope stereo observations of sub-tev gamma-rays since 2004 March. Now we have incorporated a global trigger system to reduce muons. Stereo analyses are being developed using muons for calibration, and the energy spectrum of the Crab is consistent with other results. Preliminary results on Cen A and the Galactic disk show no gamma-ray signal. SNR RX J appears as extended source, and the morphological study is progressing. Observations of SN1006 and Vela pulsar were made by using CANGAROO III telescopes. Very preliminary analyses appear to show no significant signals, which may suggest upper limits lower than the CANGAROO-I fluxes obtained several years ago. 56
