وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "The day after conjunction started with fog. After the fog had resolved skies were ok, blueish but with areas of haze moving around. I was to lazy to leave the house, so i setup the instruments in the garden.

As the moon would set before the sun, i had to do daytime observation again. I searched for and found the crescent with the imaging system around 15:00 (UT+2), visible as 90° arc at 8° elongation. I will try to follow the crescent through the afternoon.
The automatic processing software did all the work, i just had to bring the crescent arc in the field of view." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "On Sunday, 16 September 2012 (29 Shawwal 1433 AH) many people from throughout UK have attempted to sight the crescent moon (Hilal) of Dhul Qa'dah after sunset. None of the groups were able to sight the Hilal, even though some places had clear sky conditions.

We  have not received any reliable sighting reports (Muhaqaq-Ruyat-Basari) from the east of UK/Morocco either.

Therefore, the Wifaq/Batley Ulama have decided that the month of Shawwal 1433 AH will complete 30-days and the  month of Dhul Qa'dah 1433 AH will start from Tuesday 18 September 2012, Insha-Allah. "

وقال عضو المشروع السيد علام سلطان "Today (Monday, September 17, 2012 = 29 Shawwal 1433 in Pakistan), members of Jamia-tur-Rasheed tried to sight the moon at more than 40 places. Almost it was cloudy, rainy or hazy country wide. Only 5 places were clear. The moon was not seen.
Officially announced that moon was not sighted hence it is 30th Shawwal on Tuesday and 1st Zul-Qa’dah 1433 is on Wednesday, September 19, 2012.   
Note: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 would be 28th Zul-qa’dah 1433 in Pakistan and there is a possibility……although very slim……to sight the moon on that day. May Allah save us from any inappropriate situation.
