On 8th, 2004 we had an opportunity to watch Venus transit. It was the only chance for us, because the next such transit would not be possible to be seen from our country. That rare and unbelievable event caused a great interest for the students in our town. Our school was included in the International project for watching the transit of Venus organized by ESO.

A group of some students (we were among them) leading by Mr. Vasil Vasilev made the observation form the yard of our school. For the purpose we used the Russian telescope refractor 60/83 with filter and projection. For our sorrow, we couldn’t see the first and second contact of the transit, because of the cloudy weather. The weather became clear after the second contact. Then our real work started. After several hours over 300 students, teachers and walkers could see the event, due to us. We controlled the watching as we set the telescope and managed to find out the moments of third and fourth contact. We showed our results to Veselka Radeva, National Node for Bulgaria and to International observational web-page.
