Variable stars are a field where the contribution of amateur astronomers is of great importance. This contribution can be separated in to complementary parts:

  1. 1) collaboration with professional institutes that well-equipped amateurs can easily undertake in the field of photoelectric observation;

  2. 2) visual observation of variable stars, which in many cases can be a preliminary approach to photoelectric photometry.
