This paper presents the Meshtitsa Observatory3 - a small-aperture technical platform for high-precision photometric astronomical observations. Located near Pernik, Bulgaria, it is a privately operated roll-off-roof facility equipped with a 0.25-m telescope, CMOS camera, and photometric filters. All operations are remotely managed using a Debian- based INDIGO server infrastructure. The observatory has successfully captured light curves of cataclysmic stars, stellar flares, and transit events of hot Jupiter-type exoplanets with sufficient photometric precision for scientific analysis. These results demonstrate the viability of small-aperture observatories.

Keywords: observatory instrumentation, photometry, cataclysmic variable stars, stellar flares, exoplanet transits, citizen science cooperation
