(Sub-)stellar variability: from 20 M$_{\odot}$ to 13 M$_{\rm Jup}$ [SSA]

Massive early-type stars vary; low-mass late-type brown dwarfs vary, too. I will make a short, but illustrative, summary of my previous studies on stellar and sub-stellar photometric variability (including the discovery of the most variable brown dwarf in the whole sky), and explain how amateurs can help professional astronomers with our investigations.
