It is located at Pachmarhi in Madhya Pradesh, India. It is operated by the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. LocationThe Pachmarhi telescope array stands at Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is located at an altitude of 1,075 m (3,527 ft). HistoryThe array was established in 1986.[1] TelescopeThe Pachmarhi Array of Cerenkov Telescope is set in an area 80 meter by 100 meter in 5x5 matrix. Each telescope consists of 7 parabolic mirrors each with a diameter of 90 cm. Each telescope is independently steerable on its equatorial mount. It uses the wavefront sampling technique to detect TeV gamma rays.[2] References1. ^PACT power point presentation - HEGRO official presentation 2. ^Bhat P.
