Abstract
With the aim to find and characterize new variable stars, we obtained 24 470 CCD images in 13 fields of 0.4 square degrees with a 35/51 cm Maksutov-type semi-robotic telescope at the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory of Vilnius University. From photometric time series of 3604 stars analysed, we found 11 periodic variable stars and 70 slowly varying stars with so far undefined periodicity.
