Abstract
The physical motivations, present status, main results in study of cosmic rays and in the field of gamma-ray astronomy as well future plans of the TAIGA-1 (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy) project are presented. The TAIGA observatory addresses ground-based gamma-ray astronomy and astroparticle physics at energies from a few TeV to several PeV, as well as cosmic ray physics from 100 TeV to several EeV. The pilot TAIGA-1 complex is located in the Tunka valley, ~50 km west from the southern tip of the lake Baikal.
List of changes
The referee writes:
Abstract Is "50 km West" "50 km west"?
Our changes:
Yes. "50 km west"
The referee writes:
page 4 3.1.1 . 4th-5th lines (width, length, azwidth, dist, consentration) should be explained more concretely. Usual readers do not understand them...
Our changes:
"The shape of the image is characterized by the Hillas parameters (width, length, dist, con et al) which are restored by the values of signal amplitudes in camera pixels. Width and length parameters are standard deviations along the minor and major axis, dist parameter is distance from the weighted centroid of the image to the source, con is concentration parameter of the image. A detailed description of these and other Hillas parameters is given in [34,35]."
The referee writes:
5th line Forrrest classifier ---> Forest Classifier .
Our changes:
"Forest Classifier" (Sorry. Misspell)
The referee writes:
9th line Should "5.104 m^2" be "5,104 m^2"?
Our changes:
"5 *10^4 m^2" (Sorry. Misspell)
The referee writes:
14-15th lines IACT (Size) is not clear.
Our changes:
"The energy of EAS can be determined by the total number of photoelectrons detected by IACT and the distance from the EAS core, calculated by Hillas parameters described in [34, 35, 41]."
The referee writes:
20-21st lines What does "The Hillas parameters 'On'" mean?
Our changes:
"The Hillas parameters (called ‘On’) are calculated relative to this position, and the parameters of background events (called ‘Off’) are calculated relative to the anti-source located at a distance of 1.2 degrees from the center, but in the opposite direction".
The referee writes:
page 5 . 1st line 20m ---> 20 m .
Our changes:
Yes. 20m ---> "20 m."
The referee writes:
5th line What is "2.5 105 m^2"?
Our changes:
"5*10^5 m^2 "(Sorry. Misspell)
The referee writes:
page 7 .8th line "m" of "1 m^2" should not be italic. Only this uses italic for unit in this paper.
Our changes:
Yes. "m" of "1 m^2" is not italic.
The referee writes:
References. Please add "." at the end of all the sentences.
Our changes:
We have added "." at the end of all the sentences.
Thank you for your comments! Best wishes, authors

Dear the authors,
Thank you very much for your modifications. They are fine.
I am sorry that I did not read the paper carefully. The following are my additional minor comments although some may be a matter of preference.
L1 means the 1st line from the top, whereas L2B means the 2nd line from the bottom in the main text.
