The MAGIC telescope with its 17m diameter mirror is today the largest
operating single-dish Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT). It is located on
the Canary Island La Palma, at an altitude of 2200m above sea level, as part of
the Roque de los Muchachos European Northern Observatory. The MAGIC telescope
detects celestial very high energy gamma-radiation in the energy band between
about 50 GeV and 10 TeV. Since the autumn of 2004 MAGIC has been taking data
routinely, observing various objects, like supernova remnants (SNRs), gamma-ray
binaries, Pulsars, Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and Gamma-ray Bursts (GRB). We
briefly describe the observational strategy, the procedure implemented for the
data analysis, and discuss the results of observations of Galactic Sources.Comment: Brief Review, to be pulished in: Mod. Phys. Lett.
