A program is underway to obtain accurate, well sampled light curves for Cepheids in several Local Group galaxies. We have succeeded in attaining accuracies adequate for light curve analysis for stars with periods as short as about 12 days. Photometry for six known Cepheids in NGC 6822 is discussed. Although better sampling in phase is needed to allow full light curve analysis, a Fourier decomposition was performed for one star and it appears to show some differences from galactic Cepheids. A preliminary comparison of some of the gross properties of the light curves with galactic Cepheids shows both similarities and interesting differences.
