The EXPLORE Project expanded in 2003 to include a campaign to monitor rich southern open clusters for transits of extrasolar planets (EXPLORE/OC). In May and June 2003, we acquired precise, high-cadence photometry of the second open cluster in our campaign, NGC 6208. Here, we present preliminary results from our I-band survey of over 60000 stars in the field of NGC 6208, around 5000 of which were monitored with photometric precision better than 1%.
