وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور عبدالستار  محمد خضر "تم استخدام التلسكوب الكاسر بقطر 80 ملم وبعدسات عينية مختلفة بقطر 24 ملم و12 ملم و4 ملم
كان فريق الرؤية مكون من 6 اشخاص
تمت الرؤية ومتابعة الهلال لغاية بلوغه ارتفاع 0.25 درجة (حسابيا) عن الأفق
لوحظ وجود نحافة في سمك الهلال في بعض المواقع مما يجعل هناك حاجة للبحث عن اثر التضاريس القمرية على الرؤية

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "On Monday 31 March 2014 (30 Jumada Al Ula/Ummul Qura), I was visiting Dammam and tried to sight the Hilal of Jumada Al Ukhra, but was unable to do so as it was totally cloudy. However, I have been told that the Madinah & Shaqra groups have been able to sight the Hilal on that evening.

I also joined a group of observers on the previous day (Sunday 30 March 2014) as a local formality, but the sky was totally cloudy/dusty. The sun disappeared from the horizon well before sunset. But even if it was clear, it would *not* have been seen as the moon had set before the sun on that evening. 

Please see attached photo of the western horizon as an example of a typical cloudy/dusty Saudi Arabia horizon!" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد صالح الصعب "تم تصوير الهلال بكاميرا سي سي دي من قبل الزميل الراصد الفلكي إبراهيم بن سليمان العليان من المركز الوطني للفلك بالرياض" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد ميلاد إرشاقي "Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim

As salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.

Alhamdulillah my family (wife, three children) and I sighted by naked eye the new crescent moon of Jumada al Thani just outside our home in Richmond, Texas, USA on Monday, March 31, 2014 between 8:10pm and 8:20pm. After sighting the moon by eye, I took a couple of pictures to document the sighting. May Allah shower us with His blessings this month and accept this sighting from us. Ameen

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "This evening (Monday, March 31, 2014), the crescent moon of the month of Jumada-at-Thania was sighted in Blacksburg, VA  (Lat: 37° 15' 40" N, Lng: 80° 26' 56" W, and elevation: 646 meters).  I arrived at my sighting location (The Blacksburg Middle School) at 7:39 pm EST (sunset: 7:43 pm).  The western horizon was partly cloudy and the atmospheric condition was hazy.  Using a pair binoculars (7X50), I scanned the suspected area, just above the sun and slightly toward its left.  At 7:44 pm, the crescent was sighted with the binoculars and at 7:59 pm with naked eye.  It was high but very thin with the horns at 3:30 and 7:30 O'clock   I left the site when the moon disappeared behind clouds, prior to moonset (moonset: 8:58 pm).  At 7:55 pm, the temperature, dew point, relative humidity, and pressure were 53.6 F, 30.2 F, 41%, and 30.12 in, respectively.

Moltames-e-dua,

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "On Monday (March 31, 2014), we tried to observe to new crescent moon of Jumada Tsaniyah 1435 AH from Assalaam Observatory, Surakarta with all my students of CASA (Assalaam Students Astronomi Club). The New Crescent was NOT SIGHTED because the sun was covered by thick cloud at 04:55 pm, so we could not see the sun until  it sets. The moon also covered by thick and wide cloud since 05:00 - moonset.

The first of jumadal tsaniyah 1435 ah will be start on Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 according to the government calendar (Imkan Rukyat Criterion)."

وقال عضو المشروع الأستاذ دكتور محمد سالم البوسعيدي "The sky was partly cloudy, aand a little bit of haze. We managed to sight the crescent moon using CCD before sunset at 16:45 PM (about 1hr 37min before sunset). However, we were able to sight with the telescope (eyepiece) about 18 after sunset." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس محمد المغربي "السماء غائمة كليا والضباب كثيف ولم نتمكن من رؤية الهلال ." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس محمد عبدالكريم "تمت رؤية الهلال بإستخدام المنظار لدقائق معدودة ولم تتم رؤيتة بالعين المجردة حيث كانت السماء خالية من السحب إلا أن نسبة الرطوبة كانت مرتفعة جداً الأمر الذي أعاق رؤية الهلال بالعين المجردة. " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "I could not do a sighting before sunset, but the skies were clear enough to try daytime observation around noon. I could see the crescent well enough through a telescope at 20x. I tried different settings and filters and also took a few pictures. Will try again tomorrow." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The old crescent of Jumadal Ula 1435 AH was SEEN on Saturday, March 29th, 2014 from my backyard Bendo Ketitang Juwiring Klaten Indonesia."
