Twilight Observations with the MAGIC telescope — •Karsten Berger1, Ching-Cheng Hsu2, and Daniel Kranich3 for the MAGIC collaboration — 1Lehrstuhl für Astronomie, Universität Würzburg — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Physik (Werner-Heisenberg-Institut) — 3Institut für Teilchenphysik, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zürich
The MAGIC telescope has successfully observed several sources during strong moonlight, significantly extending the duty cycle of the telescope. Recently, we have started observations during astronomical twilight, which is a novelty in the field of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes. In this talk, we will present first results of this campaign.
