0.04\,\mathrm{deg}^2$ selects 528 $\gamma$ events at a significance level of $11\sigma$. The plot has been prepared for SIZE $>300$ photoelectrons, corresponding to $\approx 180$ GeV.[]{data-label="fig:t2"}](f2.eps){width="0.95\linewidth"}

Fig. \[fig:skymap\] shows a $\approx 1.8^\circ \times 1.8^\circ$ section of the sky around the 1ES2344+514 position. The nominal source position is marked by a cross. A clear excess is visible in the data, the maximum of which is located at (RA,Dec)=$(23^{\mathrm h}46^{\mathrm m}\pm 0\fm4,
51^{\circ}42\farcm6 \pm 1\farcm2)$ (the errors only include the determination accuracy of the position). The extension of the excess and the small deviation from the nominal position are consistent with the PSF and the tracking error of $\approx 1\fm5$ of the telescope [@MAGIC_drive], respectively. To calculate the significance of the observed $\gamma$-ray excess, the squared angular distance $\theta^2$ between the reconstructed shower direction and the object position ($\theta^2=0$) as shown in Fig. \[fig:t2\] is used. In this representation, the background is expected to be flat for the case of a very large diameter camera. In the analysis, three background regions of the same size chosen symmetrically with the source position around the camera center were used for a simultaneous determination
