Abstract: The results of almost ten-year observation of Cygnus X-3 point source by SHALON mirror Cherenkov telescope are presented. The galactic source Cygnus X-3, known for more than 10 years as a source with variable intensity , was regularly observed since 1995 with average gamma-quantum flux . The flux in 2003 was . Earlier, in 1997, an increase in the flux was also observed . The limits on gamma-rays from Cygnus X-3, the source that results stimulated the construction of many new detectors are presented. These upper limits and SHALON fluxes are now more than a factor 100 less than the fluxes originally reported. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
