Scientific paper

We present the first CCD photometric observations of the northern open cluster NGC 2126. Data were taken on eight nights in February and December 2002 with a total time span of ~57 hours. Almost 1000 individual V-band frames were examined to find short-period variable stars. We discovered six new variable stars, of which one is a promising candidate for an eclipsing binary with a pulsating component. Here we present single-epoch colours and magnitudes for ~800 stars in the field and the light curve data for the six variables. Note that the coordinates in ngc2126.dat are not particularly accurate because of the applied crude astrometry (errors up to +/-1-2arcsec are quite likely close to the edge). For variable star identification, consult table3.dat.
