		| Abstract: | 
		High precision Kepler photometry is used to explore the details of 
 AGB light curves. Since AGB variability has a typical time scale on 
 the order of a year, we present methods for the removal of long-term 
 trends and quarterly changes in Kepler data. While undergoing 
 long-period variations of many magnitudes, the light curves are shown 
 to be smooth at the millimagnitude level over much shorter time 
 intervals. No flares or other rapid events were detected down to the 
 sub-day time scale. |
