Shawwal Waxing (NEW) Crescent Observation Results
Monday 29 September 2008:
[ul]
[li]Malaysia:[ol][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Abdul Majid Abdul Wahid[/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Kassim Bahali said: "The hilal sighting was held at Khawarizmi Observatory but the hilal was not seen even through the telescope and teodolite. The western sky was totally cloudy. The government have announced that the first of Shawwal begins on wednesday October 1, 2008. Eid Mubarak to all muslim and may Allah forgives us"[/li][/ul]
[li]Norway:[LIST=1][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Mr.Imran Mushtaq[/li][/ol]
[li]Burkina Faso:[ol][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Mr.Ibrahima Thierno said: "I pass the end of Ramadan in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), in west Africa. In Monday 29 september, just after maghrib, I have tried to see the crescent by naked eyes, but I haven't seen it"[/li][/ol]
[li]South Africa:[ol][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Dr.Abdurrazak Ebrahim[/li][/ol]
[li]Nigeria:[ol][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Mr.Qamardeen Y Muhammad said: "I, with company of Abu Aisha try to observe the Hilal of Shawwal at Mongoro Bus-stop this evening, however in spite of clear sky the new hilal is not visible though Venus is seen glowing over the western sky"[/li][/ol]
[li]UK:[ol][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Mr.Qamar Uddin said: "...The sky was overcast with clouds so it was not possible to sight the Hilal by the naked eye or binoculars. Many people in other parts of UK have also attempted to sight the Hilal, but they could not do so either. Furthermore, we have been unable obtain any reliable Hilal sighting news from any countries in the East of UK either (excluding Saudi Arabia). Therefore, the Ulama (including Wifaq and Batley) have decided that tomorrow, Tuesday 30 September 2008 shall be 30 Ramadan 1429 AH in UK and 1 Shawwal (Eidul Fitr) 1429 AH will be on Wednesday, 1 October 2008 Insha-Allah (completing 30 days of the month)"[/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Dr.Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti said: "A group of us attempted to perform the obligatory sighting tonight for the Shawwal crescent in Oxford on 29 Ramadan, Monday 29th September, immediately after Maghrib prayers at the usual site. The local horizon is partly cloudy and the new crescent could not be sighted. By 'Isha time there were no reports of any credible sighting east of our location; rather, we received news of negative sightings in Morocco, South Africa, and Malaysia. Therefore, we should be completing 30 days [istikmal] for Ramadan with the Tarawih tonight, so that the first day of 'Id al-Fitr should, at the earliest, fall in the UK on Wednesday 1 October."[/li][/ol]

Location = Tucson, Arizona (USA)
Longitude = 110.9645 W
Latitude = 32.4204 N
Elevation = 842 meters
Time Zone = -7.0 hours
Surface conditions at
Tucson International Airport (805 m):
Temperature = 22 degrees Celsius
Relative Humidity = 47 percent
Sea Level Pressure = 1013 mb
Magnitude limit at 13 degrees altitude with 55 power
in C-8 telescope, before onset of twilight = 11.0
Topocentric and local time values from “Accurate Times”:
Moonrise (at sea level) = 05:32
Sunrise (at sea level) = 06:11
Time from new moon at 06:45 = 17 hr. 55 min.
Moon lag time = 39 min.
Relative Altitude = 4.83 degrees
Elongation from sun = 19.00 degrees
Crescent width = 12 arc seconds
Illumination = 0.62 percent
I was NOT able to see the crescent, even through a telescope. There was a tree branch in the FOV at 7 degrees altitude, so I had to raise my telescope to 13 degrees altitude. I chose to do this rather than move the telescope, so as to practice acquiring the crescent in a brighter sky.

[li]Germany:[ol][/li][li]Seen: ICOP Member Mr.Martin Elsaesser said:"Due to autumn fog (visibility<50m) i could not observe the "old" lunar crescent during morning twilight from munich. The fog/clouds departed around noon, so i used the well established realtime-video technique to capture/observe the crescent during the day.The crescent could be easily seen on the monitor for several hours in the afternoon. Later, the crescent vanished in the clouds again, about 1 hour before moonset. Attempts to observe the crescent visually through the same telescope were not successfull, due to low contrast with the remaining haze"[/li][/ol]

Re: When Is Eid In...?
When in both the west and east, ramadan waning cresent was seen on Sunday, how come it could have been seen in KSA. KSA go by the astronomical birth of the moon but they annouce its ruet. Their decsion creates problem for Muslims in the west and create confusion there.
