Here are my bullet points for the upcoming release regarding the stellar variability feature:

With the reintroduction of the stellar variability code, EXOTIC can calculate the magnitude of exoplanet host stars and output results that users can then upload to the AAVSO International Database (AID).
To utilize the stellar variability feature, users must allow EXOTIC to scrape comparison stars from AAVSO and either have a pre-existing plate solution or choose to have EXOTIC obtain one.
