This paper presents the results of the sky survey with the TAIGA-HiSCORE installation, an array of 120 wide-angle Cherenkov light detectors spread over an area of 1 km2. Data analysis is made for 2 winter seasons (2019-2021) at cosmic ray energies above 200-500 TeV. A modified method of background estimation is tested. Signal significance is estimated using classical Li-Ma method. Keywords: Gamma-ray astronomy, Crab nebula, background estimation, signal significance.
