وقال عضو المشروع السيد حسين الشيخ عيسى "We are 19 people, have attempted to sight the crescent moon (Hilal) of Shaaban 1437, We arrived at our sighting location N’tissa station before sunset. The western horizon was Clear.  Using a pair of binoculars (7X50), We are sighted the Crescent with binoculars and naked eye At 19:44  the crescent elevation was about 8 degrees.  We left at 19:19 when the moon was still about 3 degrees above the horizon. " 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور عبد الله أوراغ "تم بفضل الله عز وجل رصد هلال بداية شهر شعبان 1437 هـ من طرف أعضاء "جمعية القطب لعلم الفلك وتقنيات الفضاء" مساء هذا اليوم السبت 07 مايو 2016 م، وتمت أول ملاحظة للهلال على الساعة 19:47 أي بعد "16 دقيقة" من غروب الشمس الذي كان على الساعة 19:31 بالتوقيت المحلي.
معلومات الهلال:
مكان الرصد: "مرصد القطب" طريق الشيخ عامر - لروي." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "After seeing the crescent around noon with a good telescope and excellent conditions i could also observe it in the evening after sunset. The sky near the horizon was not good enough to see it with the naked eye but with 10x50 binoculars it was very easy. " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "I first observed the lunar crescent in daytime around 11:30 local. The sky conditions were excellent and i could actually see the crescent visually through an optimized telescope at 30x and 50x. Elongation was around 10° and the crescent was 15.5hours old. The imaging system had no problem at all to capture this. There was a huge amount of pollen flying across the sky, far more visible than the crescent.
 
Around 11:45 local the International Space Station passed in front of the crescent! I had only learned of this 15 minutes before but could still capture a nice video showing the crescent, the ISS and the pollen. https://youtu.be/zmap8GMEbDY

I will also try to observe the crescent after sunset later today.
" 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور الحسن طالبي "تعرف معظم مناطق المغرب اضطرابات جوية اليوم 29 رجب، أما الحسابات الفلكية فهي تشير إلى إمكانية رؤية الهلال كما توضح الوثيقة المرفقة، ولحد كتابة هذه الأسطر لم تعلن وزارة الأوقاف عن نتيجة الرؤية الشرعية التي غالبا أنها ستححق في المناطق الشرقية والجنوبية البعية عن الاضطرابات الجوية لأن معطيات الرؤية متوفرة" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد تركي العمري "since early morning me and Dr khaled alzaaq tried to capture the new crescent but clouds are present and haze AOD =0.3
the same condition continue to 4 pm Lt ,all the western horizon were blocked by clouds finally.
" 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مفلح عدنان "The west sky was hazy, even the sun could not be seen by naked eye. " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "We travelled over 30 miles to a location near Thirsk (UK), which is far away from inner city light pollutions and over 1000 feet high with a clear horizon down to ground level. It was the ideal place to sight the crescent moon, which was expected to appear dim and low on the horizon. 

We were fortunate to have a few highly experience observers from the York Astronomical Society who kindly offered to help locate the moon for us with binoculars/telescopes and a large group of scholars from Batley also came. Unfortunately, the moon was not seen due to heavy clouds, even though the daytime weather was clear." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "I arrived at my sighting location (the Blacksburg Middle School) before sunset (sunset: 8:17 pm EDT).  Using a pair of binoculars (7X50), I scanned the partly cloudy and hazy western horizon.  My first binocular sighting was at 7:49 pm (about 28 minutes before sunset).  Soon, the crescent disappeared behind the clouds.  Later, a friend joined me to sight the moon.  Our first naked eye sighting was almost an hour later than the initial optical aided sighting, when the moon reappeared in a clearing.  The horns were approximately at 2:30 and 6:30 O'clock (2:30;4:30;6:30).  We left the area prior to moonset when the moon set behind the clouds covering the lower part of the horizon (moonset: 9:25 pm). " 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The daytime new crescent of Sya'ban 1437 AH was seen by my friend (Muhammad Yusuf) from Bosscha Observatory, Lembang Bandung West Java Indonesia." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The new crescent of Sya'ban 1437 AH was not seen from Assalaam Observatory, PPMI Assalaam Pabelan Kartasura Sukoharjo Central Java Indonesia. The sky was totally cloudy and was rainy before sunset. We were the members of CASA, also from SMAN4 Surakarta, Imam Shuhodo Boarding School, Al-Mukmin Ngruki, and Al-Barokah tried to abserve the moon, but no body could see the new crescent of Sya'ban 1437 AH. 

The team of BMKG at Gowa, reported that the new crescent was seen by telescope."

كما ترون الرؤية مستحيلة تماما ليلة الجمعة ( عند غروب شمس يوم الخميس 7 أفريل 2016 )

فيكون يوم السبت 9 أفريل 2016 هو أول رجب 
وبالتالي فيوم السبت 7 ماي 2016 هو يوم 29 رجب 1437

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عبد الرحمن رزين "Aalaikum.
Today 7-5-2016AD=29-7-1437AH is the sighting day for the month of Shaban..
 I was in Mullaitivu N.east of Srilanka.The co-ordination of the location is Lat;9deg18' Lon:80deg48'. Sun set:6.18pm. Moon set:7.01pm.The parameters are
Lag=43minutes,
R.Azimuth=-03deg07',
Altitude=08deg54',
Elongation=10deg18'.
The prediction of the astronomers=Naked eye sighting will be possible by an experienced observer if the atmospheric conditions are favorable for sighting.
The crescent was not sighted in any parts of Srilanka due to unfavorable weather conditions.I organized a sighting group at a place called "panivayal", Depo Road, Mullaitivu. I was there with Moulavi Fareed,Moulavi Adil and Moulavi Mujeeb.We also could not sight it due to unfavorable weather conditions.
Hence it was decided to end the proceeding month 30day's and to start
the month of Shaban on 9-5-2016 by the president C.G.M.H.C.
M.Riyadh (Baari) along with A.C.J.U.and M.R.C.A.
The day for "Nisfu Shaban" will fall on 23-5-2016 and the sighting day for the month of Ramadan will fall on Monday 6-6-2016" 

وقال عضو المشروع الأستاذ دكتور محمد سالم البوسعيدي "The western sky was hazy and partly cloudy. The Crescent was observed by using a CCD camera."

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The old crescent of Rajab 1437 AH was seen from Assalaam Observatory, The Modern Boarding School of Islam ASSALAAM Pabelan Kartasura Sukoharjo Central Java Indonesia.

The east sky was partly cloudy but the moon was easy seen by naked eye by Riztya Ahaddiyanti (East Borneo) and Diana Solicha (Palembang), both are the member of CASA (Club Astronomi Santri Assalaam).

The moon also seen from my backyard at Bendo Ketitang Juwiring Klaten." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "As the moon only rose after sunset i could only observe it during the day. The weather was fine with very blue skies. The imaging system immediately showed a long crescent arc at 8° elongation, some two hours before noon. Due to the stable conditions i could do some experiments with different cameras and processing settings. 
The weather forcast for tomorrow looks fine, so i hope to be able to observe the moon soon after conjunction." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد تركي العمري "We arrived to alfegra me and khalecd alzaaq arround 2 pm lt
clouds are present with strong haze and strong wind, we 
tried several times but can not see the crescent

AOD 540 = 0.2"
