Eng. Martin Elsaesser said: "The weather was extremely bad throughout the day with layers of clouds and white skies from high humidity. I waited for several hours for a gap in the clouds to appear and even that gaps only lasted for a few minutes. As there was no chance of visual observation of the daytime crescent under these conditions i could only observe the crescent with the imaging system and even that was a struggle. 

Note from ICOP management: This crescent was not seen after sunset. It was seen at daytime."

Mr. AR Sugeng Riyadi said: "On Wednesday, 7th August 2013; the new Crescent of Syawwal 1434 AH was SEEN by CCD (approx 1 hour 13 minutes) before sunset) from my location, at Assalaam Observatory - Surakarta - Centra Java - Indonesia. 

Ied Mubarok... Allahu Akbar Walillah al-hamd :-).

Note from ICOP management: This crescent was not seen after sunset. It was seen at daytime. "

Mr. Ali Siraji said: "Given the success that resembles a crescent moon of Ramadan Rvzgahy dinner and then decided to Tjhyzkrdn group was high time, the moon will look more carefully. So Hmgahngy and assistance with my good friend and Mr. Mohsen Fesharaki patience Asthlal Committee Head of the Armed Forces Geographical filters and cables necessary funds to purchase before the day was done.catch.
So I had to get off the telescope until the battery is charging. This time I decided to Stary Night software installed on the system's Ahmdkhany I like the crescent of Ramadan is once again in trouble, do not connect the cable to the telescope. Mr. Ghazi Mir Saeed to Rsdgah arrived about 12 pm and we decided to start working. First, the 3-star Elaine tried to steer the telescope Hndkntrlr. But Venus was not found in Fayndr. Again, we tried to find the theodolite Z. Again, this was not possible due to the high altitude. Ultimately, the only way to connect and navigate through the software we saw Stary Night. By following the instructions, but my brother Abraham, Mr. Ahmdkhany solve the problem of identifying outliers and finally telescope with a cry of joy and excitement was guided by the application. Telescope toward the sun and then we went to Venus sign. Elaine was an accurate telescope and saw a constant error of 0.5 degrees. Jupiter also found but could not move the tube to achieve the desired accuracy. Telescope again, this time with much more accurate GPS time was Elaine.
After setting the exact focus and similarities eyes went to the moon. In the meantime, Mr. Esfahanian Kebria Institute Qom were added to our collection. Mr. Ghazi Mir Saeed and some very minor Haj Esfahani Ahmdkhany's focus was different with my eyes. Mr. Ghazi Mir Saeed and then we went to the moon when I tried to pull the blanket over our heads to find crescent. I have the 2 inch polarized filter with variable dark, but the light still had to use the image was too much. I decided to try the glasses, the picture was much better. Finally, Mr. Ghazi Mir Saeed, who also used the purple glasses, tried to test this method.have seen the crescent. He is the Mr. Ahmdkhany at 17:30 and at 17:35 I saw the crescent. If we set the angle of the telescope at 9 o'clock hour, the crescent was about 4 to 6 hours. Of course I saw the crescent Mr. Ahmdkhany about 50 to 53 degrees. Esfahani Haj together with the eye 28 times and even their own telescope eyepiece 25mm eyepiece filter Plvsl with filtered gray could not see the crescent, but was not so sure. At 17:55, 18:10 and 18:15, two-time Mr. Mir Saeed again, I could see the crescent. And then they saw the crescent Haj Esfahanian about 18:30. It was read by Mr. Mir Saeed once at 18:45 and took Mr. Ahmdkhany.
I already had a telephone conversation with Staff Asthlal report. But what is most interesting to me is that when my conversation was interrupted by another call from headquarters Asthlal Mvhdnzhad Haj was taken. Even with Mr. Ahmdkhany no mention was made. However, this observation was important, and the staff was Asthlal expect more.
Sighting two days was very valuable achievement.Geographical and even with all the terms of an instrument is obtained. I hope these two observations in ruckus Ydftr not declared and its value is more than the eye.

The Hilal was SEEN for a moment before covered by thick cloud, and was seen again before moonset."

Mr. Ali Siraji said: "After deployment, the horizon was very dusty and the only way to success polarization method for fast and accurate adjustment of the instrument. The 3-star Elaine Knight Stary 6.2 connectivity software was very easy to go with the solar telescope was roughly calibrated. It was time to go to the moon. However, due to excessive dust and opaque Newtonian telescopes can see an image of the crescent moon was not provided. Refracting telescope is 102 mm immediately to provide exactly the same way I did. I like the arc of light across the entire spectrum of these telescopes is very sharp. While Elaine, crescent on 10-inch Newtonian telescope viewing at 19:44 by Taha Ahmdkhany and a minute later I saw the moon through the telescope. The other guys were able to see the crescent. Mir Saeed were trying to engineer a weaker devices such as cameras and Fayndr 80 x 20 telescope to view the moon crescent was not seen due to fog up. Minutes after the refracting telescope, the crescent trapped with photographs of the moon, the moon disappeared into the dusty horizon.
Very happy to see the team work at the end of the third day was very successful and important records of these observations remains to"

Mr. Qamarudeen Muhammad said: "Easily Visible on the horizon"

Eng. Martin Elsaesser said: "The old crescent could easily be seen before sunrise without any optical aid at 20° elongation. I tried to create a video from some individual images taken with a 500mm lens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vBhlg61l9c

Planets Mercury, Mars and Jupiter could also be seen.
"

Mr. Abdul-Aziz Anyang said: "I saw the waning crescent myself at about 5.40 am high above the horizon (on top of buildings).  It is truly the 27th appearance and an indication that the first night it was seen (Tuesday July 09)by many and in almost all the ten regions in Ghana was correct, and of course the report from Kumasi which was reported seen at 5.40pm (on Monday July 08)as against local setting time of the sun at 6.26pm was false!  May Allah help the muslim ummah in Ghana and other parts of the world to know the truth about the hilal sighting and always stand by the truth to promote unity based on truth and not unity based on falsehood...AMEEN."

The crescent was only slightly tilted. It was faint, but distinct.  maashaa'ALLAAH."

Eng. Martin Elsaesser said: "The weather was bad again this morning as night-time thunderstorms did not dissolve quickly enough to allow to search for the old crescent during morning twilight. Some hours after sunset the skies cleared and i used the imaging system for a last look at the crescent before conjunction. The crescent could be imaged easily around 10:00 (UT+2) at 8° elongation from the sun despite moving haze and other disturbances this near to the sun. I hope to catch it again tomorrow (after conjunction) and will also attempt visual observation.

Note from ICOP management: This crescent was not seen before sunrise. It was only seen at daytime."

Eng. Seyyed Ghasem Rostami said: "The crescent was seen by Telescope 8" at 6:51 in daylight time.

Note from ICOP management: This crescent was not seen before sunrise. It was only seen at daytime."

Mr. Ali Siraji said: "Given the importance Sighting Rvzgahy Cheval emphasis Dear Mr. Rostami's important Sighting Rvzgahy Ramadan experience at the sight Rvzgahy Shawwal, it became an area suitable for recording both Crescent and handling multiple records were selected to.
After 2 days, the need to establish comprehensive facilities in the area are made available. The research on the foothills of the Alborz and all weather conditions we find that due to the passage of the front air from the northern most areas of weather that is most appropriate in the foothills of the Alborz. Because the moon passes through the southern part of the sky is located in the southern Alborz Log moon dust. With the options possible, including Mount Damavand before us, but to this point the only helicopter was possible to work sightings very difficult to build. So with my good friend Mr. Fesharaki planning efforts necessary to Dizin Heights did. He assisted with the coordination and organization of the armed forces of geography, transportation to the area with two theodolite provided. The Center for Astronomical Rey that the staff Asthlal Tehran, where the focus is, a telescope refracting 120 mm Sky voucher along with some accessories and a battery of 12 volts most of us did. Milad tower base and the headquarters of the astronomy club EQ6 and a 12-volt battery will give us and the occasional dinner Monday, Persian date Mordad 14 was dispatched to the area.
It is explained that due to insurance not the tool by Staff Asthlal, a telescope 16 inches Dobson owned Milad Tower, we did not. Energy Department to establish and provide for the needs of food and went consequences unfortunately we lacked the necessary funds.
After passing through the tortuous road to Dizin dawn arrived telecommunication masts. Unfortunately Asthlal headquarters for deployment in telecommunication masts had not done any coordination. Telecommunication mast with failing to reach harmony the way we did. Only someone who had this rig for our Asthlal Shawwal 1428 saw me knowing and my insistence that polarize telescope allowed Tools before Sunrise Installation Polar said. When checking the mast during a morning shift were to assist him in the area remained open despite legal arrangements to be undertaken. This coordinated by staff Asthlal Tehran Province took to the era lasted so during the day for children to be protected from the biting sun inside the tent heat endured.
The 3-star establishment and polarize telescope Elaine immediately went to the client and then we find the Nsr actually went wrong. Because we did not have cell telescope connection cable with Hndkntrlr've driven. Going back to the client decided to Mercury, Mars, the statesman-Jabbar, Aljvza relations, Dbran and Sirius get into the middle of the box to be notified of Elaine accuracy. Precision work was fantastic and all the objects came to the middle of the eye. Morning and the sun was on the horizon where the mountains with an altitude of 4200 meters was Bstk Klum and about 10 degrees above the horizon was closed. After months of waiting, while the mountain was long and went towards it. As the sun was high and the low side of Jupiter and Mars were in a matte gray filter would provide the best contrast. However, the crescent was not tried. We decided that the crescent photography and processing. During processing led to severe fatigue and not sleeping at night before I go to sleep in tents. I woke up at 9 am Mr. Ahmdkhany they were Sighting News. Mr. Fesharaki also immediately saw the crescent, but everything I've tried so tired and sleepy that my eyes could not see the crescent. Eye and 25 mm Plvsl several important Rvzgahy saw the crescent was remedial. Crescent until 9:30 three more times and each time the telescope was seen by Mr. Ahmdkhany be sleepy because I was not able to see the crescent. After another hour, the crescent was not seen and we do the rest of the observations, but we have started to give up a day Record Crescent. The kids barely saw Mars through a telescope. Clear skies would flood about 12 hours and are less robust and was eventually seen by observing Venus Rvzgahy Ramadan finished work.
It is explained that dear friend Mr. Ahmdkhany successful record in the crescent of Ramadan Rvzgahy angular separation were 8 and 55 minutes of arc. Given that I've been with them a few observations of my eyes because of Acuity years of experience and have excellent accuracy Asthlal.
The evening is also a documentary filmmaker from IRIB us were added to the night the recording and filming of our work and the sighting Rvzgahy Ramadan hopes of sighting the crescent Rvzgahy Cheval increased.
