Description
In light of recent Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) data from GRO, it is desirable to have a method for searching data from the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory 10 meter Cherenkov telescope for evidence of GRB's at TeV energies. In particular, this instrument's narrow field of view and high angular resolution make it well suited for observations of M31 as a test of the galactic halo model of GRB origin. We present here such a method, and give the results of its application to data taken on M31. Also reported here is an upper limit for the detection of a DC signal from M31
