The USNO 0.2m FASTT telescope was used to obtain astrometric information in 16 equatorial fields in support of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Each field is approximately 7.6o by 3.2o in size and was scanned ~10 times with overlapping CCD strip scans, and star positions accurate to +/-50 mas in each coordinate and magnitudes good to +/-0.011 mag were determined. As an ancillary project, this database was searched for new variables, with the first search results presented in Henden & Stone (AJ 115, 296, 1998). Further processing results in the discovery of approximately 1000 new variables. Accurate coordinates for previously identified variables and suspected variables are also given.
