ˇ The sensitivity of the HEGRA stereoscopic system of 5 Imaging Atmospheric Cerenkov Telescopes (IACT) now permits the detection of faint TeV -ray sources with 1/4 Crab flux within one hour of observation time. In fall of 1998 we undertook a long-term observational program of the BL Lac object 1ES 2344+514. During a period of 4 months this object was monitored with the HEGRA IACT system for 1 hr per night around transit under acceptable weather conditions. We report the results of our search for a γ-ray signal from 1ES 2344+514 on time scales from 20 min up to one month. We also discuss different possible strategies for searching for such highly variable TeV -ray sources with imaging atmospheric Cerenkov instruments. ˇ
