We propose to perform repeated secondary eclipse measurements of the 'hot Jupiter' planet HD 209458b, with IRAC at 8 micron. Tentative evidence for variability in eclipse depth exists for HD 209458b. This program will firmly establish the existence of variability (or constrain it extremely well), will provide some the most accurate brightness temperature measurements to date for any extrasolar planet and will achieve several important secondary goals. The data thus collected will constitute a long-lasting product in the form of constraints for existing and future generations of hot Jupiter atmospheric models.
