Abstract

Long-term and high-precision photometric and/or spectroscopic monitoring is required for the study of some variable stars: supergiants, slowly pulsating B-stars, stars with activity cycles and/or amplitude modulation, and so on. These observations require stable and dedicated instrumentation.
