We report the results of a variable star search in the fields observed by the ESSENCE collaboration. This data was obtained with the MOSAIC imager on the 4m CTIO telescope, covering a 10° × 10° region looking outside the the galactic plane. With data spanning 5 years, we provide information for long-term as well as short-term (< 1day) variability in a number of sources. Among the 1119 variable candidates, 52 had been classified as type Ia Sne by the ESSENCE collaboration. From the remaining candidates, our preliminary classification includes 154 long period variables, 61 outbursting systems, and 12 short period variables. Many of the remaining candidates are possible Active Galactic Nuclei. In this presentation we also discuss the methods used to discover our candidates, as well as our plans for future study of the sources.
