From the new observations, six new times of minimum light were derived. The light curves were analyzed by using the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney program. It is found that the asymmetric light curves can be modeled by a hot spot on the secondary component. The degree of overcontact is 15.4%, implying that the system is a shallow-contact binary. Combining the new times of minimum light with the photoelectric and CCD data compiled from the database, we investigate its orbital period. The results show that the orbital period may be undergoing multiple changes: a long-term decrease at a rate of dP/dt=-(1.502±0.063)x10-7days/year, and a small periodic variation with a period of 24.27(±0.34) years. Since V508 Oph is an overcontact system and both components are late-type stars, we discuss the possible connection between the mass transfer, magnetic activity, the third body, and the orbital period changes. Description: CCD photometric observations of the W UMa-type binary V508 Oph were obtained from 2009 to 2010 with the PI1024 CCD photometric system attached to the 0.6m reflecting telescope at the Xinglong Observatory. The BVR passbands used are in the standard Johnson UBVRI system.
