Scientific paper

We present first results of an optical wide field imaging survey of the galaxies NGC 300, NGC 6822, WLM and Pheonix, performed as part of the Araucaria Project, a long-term observational program recently initiated at Universidad de Concepción. Based on our data, a large number of new Cepheids in these galaxies has been found. Our photometric databases were sldo used to select blue supergiant candidates in these galaxies, and to search for the photometric variability of these stars, as well as for a number of side projects, such as the search of other types variable stars and OB associations in these galaxies.
