Detection of the oscillations expected to be present on solar-like stars is very difficult. Photometric observations from the ground suffer from two problems: (1) an atmospheric scintillation noise that drops only slowly with telescope aperture size, and (2) mode frequency spacings that require nearly continuous observations over at least several days for resolution. I will review the very limited possibilities for asteroseismology of solar-like stars from ground-based photometric observations. FRESIP could provide an excellent opportunity for pursuing asteroseismology observations of a far richer nature than can be contemplated from the ground.
