The astrometric accuracy of the recent configuration of the (D=2m, f=16.5m) RC telescope of the Rozhen obesrvatory (Bulgaria) was tested. We compared x and y positions from a plate of the RC telescpe with positions obtained from a plate of the (D=0.7m, f=3m) CERGA Schmidt telescope at CERGA (France). The positions coincided on a level of 0.09 arcsec, which is caused mainly by the error of the measurements of the CERGA plate.
