Scientific paper

We present the results of long term optical monitoring of known and candidate TeV Blazars. These observations were obtained with the 0.6m telescope at the Bell Observatory of Western Kentucky University and the 1.3M AZT11 telescope at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. A total of 10 known TeV Blazars and 11 TeV Blazar candidates are being monitored. Some of the known TeV Blazars are being monitored as part of the Whipple 10m Blazar monitoring program. The recent success of Magic in detecting Blazars based on enhanced optical activity has resulted in us adding additional TeV candidate sources to our routine optical monitoring list. The detection of enhanced optical activity in these sources will then be used to trigger TeV observations.
