Prospects for observing pulsating red giants with the MONS Star Trackers
  K and M giants show variability on timescales from years down to days and possibly even hours. I discuss the contribution that can be made with high-precision photometry that will be obtained by the MONS Star Trackers. These include observations of flare-like events on Mira variables, and oscillation spectra for K giants and short-period M giants.
