  The results of a CCD survey for variability of stars in the nearby galaxy NGC
6822 are presented. The goal of the survey was to obtain good light curves of
Cepheids for Fourier decomposition and to detect shorter period Cepheids. Since
the program was carried out with a relatively small telescope, the Dutch 0.9 m
at ESO-La Silla, the observations were unfiltered (white light, or Wh-band).
The analysis revealed the presence of more than 130 variable stars. 21
population I Cepheids are detected; 6 of them were already known from previous
works (Kayser, 1967). For at least three Cepheids, however, the previous
identification or period was wrong. Some probable population II (W Vir) stars
are also identified. The dispersion of the fundamental mode Cepheid PL relation
appears to be small.
