The estimation of the auroral altitude of June 28 event. The elevation angles of the auroral body were derived from the photograph, using stars as reference points, and then mapped onto the image. These angles were projected onto the magnetic field line at the equatorward boundary of the auroral oval, as estimated from satellite observation. As a result, the altitude of upper portion of the aurora was estimated to be ~650 km at an elevation angle of 14°.
