Abstract
The H·E·S·S· (High Energy Stereoscopic System) Phase-I is comprised of four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) for observation of galactic and cosmic sources of Very High Energy (VHE) gamma rays, with a significant improvement in sensitivity and a detection threshold below that of previous IACTs. Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) since the start of operations in June 2002 are presented, in particular for PKS 2155-304 and Mkn 421, along plans for Phase-II.
