Aurora chasers are on high alert for possible geomagnetic storm conditions from March 4 to March 5. Northern lights possible at mid-latitudes.

Photographers told National Geographic that wide-angle lenses, an aperture or F-stop of four or less and a focus set to the farthest possible setting are recommended for capturing the northern lights. If using a smartphone, it’s recommended to turn on night mode and disable flash.

The northern lights may be visible as far south as New York and other parts of the northeast such as Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
