Abstract

During its Cycle I (2005/2006), the MAGIC telescope targeted about 250 hours several galactic γ-ray sources detected previously by other experiments or expected to emit in the same energy domain. This paper reviews some results of such MAGIC observations. We cover, among others, supernova remnants, the Galactic Center and microquasars. We will concentrate on the recent discovery of very high energy γ-rays from the microquasar LS I +61 303.
