We present high precision CCD photometry of 1791 objects in 20 open clusters
with an age of 10 Myr to 1 Gyr.
These observations were performed within the photometric system which is
primarily used to detect chemically peculiar stars of the upper main sequence.
Time bases range from 30 min up to 60 days with
data from several nights. We describe the time series analysis reaching a detection
limit of down to 0.006 mag for apparent variability.
In total, we have detected 35 variable objects of which four are not members of their
corresponding clusters. The variables cover the entire Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, hence
they are interesting targets for follow-up observations.
Key words: Galaxy: open clusters and associations: general / stars: variables: general
Based on observations obtained at Complejo Astronómico el Leoncito (CASLEO), operated under the agreement between the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas de la República Argentina and the National Universities of La Plata, Córdoba y San Juan; ESO-La Silla and UTSO-Las Campanas.
