وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "Despite being in the impossible zone (lag time 6 minutes, 5° elongation) of the visiblity map i did a nice trip to the mountains with my kids. I brought the crescent imaging stuff and tried to find the crescent quite close to the horizon, but the power supply died on me so the mount would not point or track. Switching to a wide-field view on fixed tripod did not help as the sky was to cloudy anyway.

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "On Friday, 25 November 2011 (29 Dhul Hijjah 1432 AH) many people from throughout UK have attempted to sight the crescent moon (Hilal) of Muharram 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 any other countries east of UK/Morocco either.

Therefore, the Wifaq/Batley Ulama have decided that the month of Dhul Hijjah 1432 AH will completed 30 days and the month of Muharram 1433 AH will start from Sunday 27 November 2011, making Ashura (10 Muharram) fall on Tuesday, 6 December 2011, Insha-Allah."

"cold front" air, 35min lag but NOT visible in binos,
venus and mercury confirmed pointing, very windy and raw" 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "I arrived at my sighting location at 4:37 pm EST (sunset: 5:06) and started scanning the clear SW/WSW horizon, using two pairs of binoculars (7X50 and 10X50).  I stayed there past moonset (moonset: 5:33 pm).  Venus was sighted with a pair of binoculars at 4:39 pm and then with naked eye.  Mercury was seen at 5:37 pm with binoculars.  At 5:15 pm, the temperature, relative humidity, and pressure were 11 C, 58%, and 1025 mbar, respectively.  Earlier, I tried a short daytime sighting with no success.  Using a pair of binoculars, I was able to sight Venus at 12:47 pm EST followed by a naked eye sighting at 1:00 pm.  At 12:55 pm, the temperature, relative humidity, and pressure were 17 C, 37%, and 1027 mbar, respectively." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيدة بسمة ذياب "The new crescent ( Muharram 1433 H ) was easily seen by naked eye... Venus was shining in front of it ( about 9 deg. the separation between them )"

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "We arrived at our sighting location prior to sunset (sunset: 5:05 pm EST) and started scanning the expected location, using pairs of binoculars (7X50 and 10X50) with no success.
