Yeah I saw that photo this morning as well. It was 30 seconds with a wide open f stop. It was definitely not naked eye visible and even in the shot it is fairly dull.
Apparently someone in MN caught some, but I had to sleep and never saw a Kp that was impressive. It maxed out at G1. It looks like by the time it got going here it was nearing morning twilight and clouds moved in.
There was a surprise G3 last night. There is some possibility for action tonight in its wake. It was cloudy and rainy last night anyway. Tonight should be clear here.
The 2003 aurora display over Long Island is one I will never forget (unfortunately I didn't have a camera capable of taking good photos of it at the time). It was incredible. Half the sky was visibily green and the other half visibly red and it was directly overhead. i was looking right at the Fire Island light which divided the two colors from where I was standing.
