A search for CP2 stars with long photometric periods during more than one decade has led to the detection of the long period variables HD 94660 and HD 116458. Furthermore, in the case of ϒ Equ, the CP star with the longest magnetic period, a monotonic change of the light output has been measured. Light curves are presented for the known long period variables HD 187474 and HD 188041. The results on the other stars in the programme are shortly discussed.
Based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory in the framework of the project on Long Term Photometry of Variables.
