  On July 28^th, 2010, the APO hosted internationally-renowned astrophotographer PK Chen in the Flammer Theater at The Wild Center, Tupper Lake. PK signed copies of his book, "A Constellation Album: Stars and Mythology of the Night Sky", shared many of his amazing photographs and told stories about the photos he's taken from various, exotic locations around the world. PK's wish is for everyone to get their friends and family together, turn off their electronic devices, enjoy a glass of red wine, and spend some time outside, marveling at the wonders of the universe. Here is the poster announcing the event. A gallery of some of his astrophotos can be found on The World at Night (TWAN) web site.
