During the summer astronomy workshops CLARK-2010, which implements oganizira Vidulini Astronomical Association, twelve participants (students, engineers, professors ..) have found six new, previously unknown variable stars. The findings confirmed the leading international organization for research and grant him the status of the discoverer of such facilities; American Association of variable star observer (AAVSO) from the United States. Before beginning work on this issue at Vidulini Observatory in Croatian in the last hundred years, discovered only two new promijenjive stars.

A team of young researchers and discoverers seemed; Gregor Srdoč, Jure Bacelj, Andrea Grujic-Jukic, Ana Bacelj, John Kurečić, Peter Gljušćić, Quiet Barac, Erik Sulc, Sandra Požežanac, Ines pestaj, Marcela Marino Rasonja and Tumpić.
In the following the AAVSO can see international recognition and a list of discoverers discoveries of previously unknown promijenjivih stars. End of newly discovered previously unknown promijenjivih stars (stars that due to physical or chemical process of changing its brightness) will forever stand in the names of young Croatian astronomers.

Astronomical Association Vidulini past ten years, organizes and conducts Summer Science and technical workshops for children and young people, with an emphasis on astronomy, named Clarke. During this last year, but education is a great attention is paid to experimental studies of extrasolar planets and variable stars. Selected teams of young people from all over the Croatian in time from 09 to 12 August was invited to ovgodišnje edition CLARK-2010 for the introduction of the research, using their own equipment, VSX NEXT, the world's database (Super WASP) and research and discoveries of previously unknown variable stars.
AAVSO International certificate confirming the discovery promijenjive stars
Upon arrival and accommodation of the Wellness Team is the first day of the workshop for a few hours of introduction to the issues, a division of specialized software packages and prepared a database that was supposed to analyze, set to work. Methodology, input data, their verification, determination of potential candidates, and reporting the discovery of previously unknown promijenjivih stars in the AAVSO with the participants was done Gregor Srdoč.
Srdoč is otherwise in the international ranking American Exoplanet Archive (AXA) for more than a year and a half firmly holds first place in the world in the research of the planets of other stars and the most prolific discoverer of Croatian promijenjivih stars of all time.
The research work and findings so far recognized only the beginning of the work teams that participated at the Clark-2010. All of them now follow zaprimljenh repeated analysis of the data, extract the potential of new discoveries and ultimately a new recognition by the AAVSO. This team will continue their joint work in Vidulini Observatory in research and discovery, and further, using data obtained in its own robotic systems such as those available from databases observatory located in the Canary Islands, South Africa .. In the near future telescopes located in space (Kepler).
In addition to the planned work of last time, and participants CLARK-2010 in your free time (read, the time that they themselves "stolen" for rest and sleep) were recorded and studied the sun, Jupiter, Saturn, set up an autonomous meteorological station, extended with the installation made for telescopes, In all, manage to find a couple of hours relaxing "brainstorming" on the beach.
It is interesting to note how these young astronomers, the discoverer of previously unknown celestial objects themselves had to take care of accommodation, food, beverage and other costs, just as in true Croatian story-reality, which "follows the" top performance in science. However, a symbolic but valuable assistance provided by Tomislav Galant (Podravka), David Sugary (Eurotrade), Renato Maretić (Actual IT), Daniel Erman (Erman-commerce) and Ljubljana.
