• Montana District Educational Inspectorate
• the astronomers from Sofia Astronomical Association
• Astronomers from the "Giordano Bruno" People's Astronomical
Observatory and Planetarium in the city of Dimitrovgrad
and other professional astronomers.
Astroparty Varshets is put into effect thanks to the financial aid of:

- the foundation financed the purchase of NEXSTAR 5 SE Telescope - Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a mirror diameter D = 125 mm and a CCD camera (color video camera NexImage) and Contrast filter valued $1,625. They will
provide opportunity for the students from the school and guests to the astroparty to become a part of an observation. In addition, the Foundation funded the building of a sundial in the school yard.

• Electrostart JSCo. – joined the sponsors in 2010

The idea of a sundial was born during the World Year of Astronomy.
We organized two charity performances to raise funds, but we managed to implement our project thanks to America for Bulgaria Foundation.
