Abstract

We have observed 2 blazars Mkn421 and 1ES 2344+514 recently. The BL Lac object Mkn421 was observed using the wave-front sampling PACT telescope array located at Pachmarhi in central India during January - May 2009 as well as the high altitude HAGAR telescope system during March - May 2009. The blazar 1ES2344+514 was observed using the high altitude HAGAR array during September - December 2008. We did not see any evidence for significant flares from both these blazars during our observation period in our preliminary analysis. The day to day variations in flux are compared with those measurements at other wavelengths.
