Abstract

To improve our comprehension of the ? Cephei stars, we set up a photometric multi-site campaign on the open cluster NGC 884 (? Persei). Thirteen telescopes joined the 2005-2007 campaign which resulted in almost 78 000 CCD frames. We present an up-to-date status of the analysis of these data, in which several interesting oscillating stars are pointed out. We end with the future prospects.
