  We present a search for variable stars in the Fornax dwarf galaxy covering an
area of 1/2 a square degree. We have ~30 epochs of VI data. We found and
determined periods for more than 500 RR Lyrae, 17 anomalous Cepheids, 6
Population II Cepheids. In addition we have 85 candidate Long Period Variables,
the majority of which were previously unknown. We estimated that the average
metal abundance of RR Lyrae stars is [Fe/H] ~ -1.6 dex.
