Details:
On June 22, 2015 Space Weather Live put out a KP index of 7. In order to see an Aurora from Long Island the KP index needs to be a 7 or higher. I saw a reading as high as KP 8.67 in the early morning hours of June 23, 2015. Although the Aurora was not seen visually I continued to take photos of the dark sky in hopes of capturing something of the Aurora. It is rare to capture and see an Aurora from Long Island, NY. Although the seeing was not optimal, in Connecticut's sky-glow, I was able to capture enough of the Aurora to confirm it from Long Island. Details: Canon Digital Rebel, wide angle lens, Alt/Az tripod, ISO from 200 to 1600 with 30 second exposures.
