Abstract
NGC 6822, a Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy, was observed in the nearinfrared JHKS bands using the Japanese-SAAO Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) telescope over a period of about four years. An extensive search for large amplitude asymptotic giant branch variables over the observed 7.5' x 21.1' area of NGC 6822 found 162 probable variables. In particular, 30 Miras and 9 semiregulars have been identified and characterised.
