The Caribbean Institute of Astronomy would like to thank all those who attended, assisted and participated in Star Party 2011 for making the event such a success.
We had a record turnout this year, and despite the heavy cloud cover the feedback has been very positive.
We now look forward to continuing our viewing events for the remainder of 2011, and of course to the next Star Party.
For photos of DStar Party 2011, please see our photo gallery here.
