Scientific paper

We present the results of a search for variable stars in the field of NGC6259. Altogether 85 variable stars have been discovered. 36 of them are eclipsing systems. This group contains 13 EA, 2 EB and 21 EW-type stars. Light curves of two variable stars resemble those of Miras. The remaining 47 variable stars detected in the field of this open cluster are most probably highly obscured red giants (OSARG, irregular). For all detected variable stars we provide their light curves, preliminary classification, discussion on the possible cluster membership, equatorial coordinates, finding charts and periods when possible.
