Abstract
The "Naini Tal-Cape survey for rapidly oscillating Ap stars", to search the Northern hemi-sphere sky for pulsating stars was initiated in 1997. This is a collaboration between India and South Africa. So far about 70 stars have been observed and 4 variables have been discovered. The variables are HD 13079, HD 13038, HD 12098 and HD 98851. Of these HD 12098 is a likely rapidly oscillating Ap star. This paper gives a status report on the survey. The methodology of this survey and an evaluation of observing time vis-a-vis the chance of discovering a new variable are discussed.
