  VERITAS, an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) system for
gammma-ray astronomy in the GeV-TeV range, has recently completed its first
season of observations with a full array of four telescopes. A number of
astrophysical gamma-ray sources have been detected, both galactic and
extragalactic, including sources previously unknown at TeV energies. We
describe the status of the array and some highlight results, and assess the
technical performance, sensitivity and shower reconstruction capabilities.
