    385385The observed Cangaroo and HESS spectra differ
    386386substantially in the spectral index. While the Cangaroo spectrum only extends
    387 to about 2 TeV, the recently published HESS spectrum goes up to about 9 TeV. Figure \ref{fig:MAGIC_flux_limits} shows the HESS and Cangaroo observed fluxes together with the mimimum flux detectable by MAGIC in 20 hours observation time.

    389389MAGIC will be able to solve the obvious discrepancy between the observed fluxes. Due to the observation under high zenith angle of about 60 deg MAGIC will be able to extend the source spectrum to higher energies.

    413 Based on the above estimates a 5 $\sigma$ excess is expected to be observed in about 2 hours. To acquire a data set which is comparable in size to those of the other experiments at least 40 hours of observation time are requested. These 40 hours may be either split into 20 hours ON and 20 hours OFF data taking or be devoted exclusively to data taking in the wobble mode. It is still being uinvestigated which of the observation modes is to be prefered.
