AB: The Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) instrument images most of the sky every 105 minutes. From this unique dataset, the brightnesses of stars down to and below the eight magnitude can be measured to investigate their variability. This paper presents the methods developed to extract the stellar brightnesses, and the accuracies obtained as a function of brightness and crowding. Example lightcurves are given.
