  We present preliminary results obtained from analysis of the VI photometry of
the globular cluster M79. Stellar variability survey performed with the image
subtraction method yielded six new pulsating stars: two of RR Lyrae type, three
SX Phoenicis stars and even one W Virginis star. Using all eleven RR Lyrae
stars known in the cluster we find that M79 is Oosterhoff type II globular
cluster.
