You can see it from suffolk county, ny. I have seen it. They have a planetarium and a mansion there where you can see it and they have binoculars.

It is only visible from the north shore which runs across Nassau and Suffolk County. I should know -- I live there.

Vanderbilt Mansion is on the north shore on the Sound in Suffolk.

But you can see it from there and that is most of it I think.

That's a very tiny spot. I live near the Sound. On a clear winter day I sometimes see CT.

You have to be by the water not near it to see it and it helps if you have binoculars. You have to be on the beach or up high like at the mansion.

We used to be able to see Connecticut on clear winter days from Strongs Neck which is across the sand bar in Port Jefferson Harbor, near where you are obh , I think. Fifty years ago (or more

) , the only viable television came from New Haven & sometimes Providence.

When I was a kid (back in the day) we used to climb a hill, or even stand on our roof, and we'd be able to see Connecticut in the distance. Trees have grown too much to be able to do that now. We live about three miles from the north shore.

There's a big powerplant somewhere on the north shore of Suffolk and you can easily see that plant in CT and even all the way in Manhattan.

This is my point. It can only be seen from a certain part of Suffolk County. Stating that one can see CT from Suffolk County fails to take into account that a significant portion of Suffolk County isn't close enough to the Sound to see CT.
