Scientific paper

BL Lacertae objects are a class of AGN which are believed to be highly beamed. Very high energy gamma-rays emitted from such objects provide important information that improves our understanding of this class of objects. Only two AGNs, Mrk 421 and Mrk 501, are well established TeV emitters in the northern hemisphere. The Whipple collaboration previously reported a weak signal from the BL Lac object 1ES 2344+514. This object has been extensively monitored with atmospheric Cherenkov experiments from 1997 to 1999 with no other reported detection. The results of observations in 1999-2001 of 1ES 2344+514 taken with the new Whipple 490 pixel camera are presented. These observations resulted in a detection at the 3 σ level. .
