of the main mirror is $\sigma\approx 0.04^\circ$, while 90% of the light of a source at infinity is focussed onto a disk with $0.1^\circ$ ø. Further details of the telescope parameters and performance can be found in @MAGIC-commissioning [@CortinaICRC].

1ES2344+514 was observed for 32 hours in total, distributed over 27 days between 2005 August and the first days of 2006 January at zenith angles ranging from $23^\circ$ to $38^\circ$. The observations were carried out in wobble mode [@Fomin], i.e. by alternatingly tracking two positions at $0.4^\circ$ offset from the camera center. This observation mode allows a reliable background estimation for point sources.

Simultaneous $R$-band observations of 1ES2344+514 were conducted in the framework of the Tuorla Observatory blazar monitoring program[^1] with the KVA 35 cm telescope[^2] on La Palma and the 1.03 m telescope at Tuorla Observatory, Finland.

Data Analysis
=============

The data analysis was carried out using the standard MAGIC analysis and reconstruction software [@Magic-software]. After calibration [@MAGIC_calibration], the images were cleaned by requiring a minimum number of seven photoelectrons (core pixels) and five photoelectrons (boundary pixels), see e.g. @Fegan1997. These tail cuts are scaled accordingly for the larger size of the outer pixels of the MAGIC camera. The data
