Scientific paper

CCD image photometry results for 8 BL Lac objects have been obtained at Yunnan Observatory. The main results show that: (1) BL Lac has a very short characteristic timescale of about 80 min with an amplitude of Delta B of about 0.6 mag; (2) Mark 421 has a short timescale variability of about 2.5 hours with an amplitude of Delta B of about 1.4 mag; and (3) 0109 + 22 has a rapid optical variation whose amplitude exceeds 0.68 mag in about 70 min.
