وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The crescent before sunset was not captured because the sky was very hazy ..." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The Rukyat Hilal of Shawwal 1437 AH event was attended by the director of PPMI Assalaam, Ustadz Drs. H. Uripto M. Yunus, M.Ed., and his official staffs, Team of URAIS Kemenag (ministry of religious affairs) for Sukoharjo, Boyolali, Klaten, members of CASA-Assalaam and members of Solo Astronomy Club and moslems in Solo Raya.

Based on the negative reports from all observation places in Indonesia, the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia in the Sidang Isbath decided that Shawwal 1st, 1437 A.H starts on Wednesday July 6th, 2016.

"Ied Mubarak, Taqabbal Allaah Minna wa Minkum"" 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور الخليل  مولود "بعد ساعتين  من التحرى، لم تتوصل اللجنة المركزية لمراقبة الأهلة بما يثبت رؤية الهلال 
وعليه فسنكمل شهر رمضان 30 يوما يوم  الثلاثاء الموافق 5 يوليو 2016" 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس علي مجيد الحجري "تمت الرؤية بصعوبة بواسطة التلسكوب فقط دون تصويره بواسطة الكاميرا ولا بالعين المجردة وكل عام وانتم بالف خير" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد حسين الشيخ عيسى "The new crescent of shawwal 1437 was seen, 08 persons had tried to see this crescent, But he was seen with naked eyes By two persons and third With great difficulty. The western horizon was partly cloudy and hazy, Takabal Allah EL siam wa EL kiam Aid mubarek for all Muslimen" 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "The observation of the young crescent after sunset was difficult as we had a lot of clouds. I could see Venus for a few seconds before sunset, but the crescent remained hidden. At sunset the proper spot in the sky was covered in clouds, only a very narrow band on the horizon remained clear. 
I had set up an imaging system with a small lens so i would know when and where the crescent reached the gap. When the crescent appeared it was very faint and only barely visible in 12x50 binoculars as the imaging system showed me exactly where to look. I could only see it visually for a few minutes but the imaging system could follow it till it had set. So despite difficult weather conditions and a small lag time this was a visual observation after sunset." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "I could not observe the crescent yesterday (the day of conjunction) due to clouds. 
Today the skies were blue and conditions were far easier. I could find the crescent in mid-morning with the imaging software and a small lens on a simple tripod. I placed the lens just inside the shadow of a house to hide from the glare of the sun. I did not try visual observation this morning. Hopefully i can observe the crescent visually after sunset.

" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد تركي العمري "I started early morning with AOD 619 nm 0.18 hazy with some high clouds sky ,first sight was at 8:30 am Lt i waited for half an hour to get a better sky or a small gap iried to see the crescent visually but could not due to bad sky condition." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد تركي العمري "I tried to see the new crescent through my telescope first after that as the sun goes more below the horizon i tried with binocular and saw it i waited for more 10 minutes to get a better  contrast so i saw it by naked eye 7:30 pm Lt , its a .difficult  sight due to the bad sky condition that we had

PS; half an hour before sun set i tried to see the crescent through an eye piece attached to 610 nm red filter but i did not see it  i think its due to the bad sky condition." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "I arrived at my sighting location (the Blacksburg Middle School) at 8:21 pm EDT.  Using a pair of binoculars (7X50), I started scanning the partly cloudy and hazy western horizon.  My first binocular sighting was at 8:23 pm  (sunset: 8:45 pm).  Immediately after, I saw the very thin crescent with naked eyes.  The horns were at 2:00 and 6:00 O'clock (2:00;4:00;6:00).  At 8:26, I saw Venus with the aid of the binoculars.  It was rather difficult to see Venus with naked eyes even at 8:40 pm when I thought that I could see it (difficult to say that I saw it, however).  After the initial moon and Venus sightings and prior to 8:40 pm, I left the location.  I stayed in the second location till 9:16 pm when the moon was still 2-3 degrees above horizon (moonset: 9:40 pm)." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The Hilal for Shawwal 1437 was SEEN by naked eye throughout Indonesia on 5 July 2016 after Maghrib. Notably from:

1. Bintang Musir Beach, Ketapang, West Borneo -- by Muhammad Aan Subhasyah et al, clear skies thus long sighting experience.

2. Juwiring, Klaten, Central Java -- by Ahmad Badrus Salam Alfa Rasyid (8 yr old), confirmed by telephoto took by myself, before dissapearing behind clouds.

3. Ciburial Village, North Bandung, West Java -- by Ahmad I. Adjie and Madihah Bajri, short sighting due to clouds closing in on to the Hilal.

4. Watoe Dakhon Observatory both by telescope then naked eye, Ponorogo, East Java -- by Ahmad Junaidi et al. Sightied from 17:40 to 17:50 UTC +7.

The new crescent of Shawwal 1437 AH was also captured by telescope on several locations by BMKG Teams (time when the crescent was seen) as noted below:

1. Biak (18:14-18:36 LT)
2. Ternate (19:23-19:26 LT)

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The sky was clear with little hazy. The crescent was captured by CASA Team (Mr. Adnan, mr. Darmawan and mr. Widi)  at Assalaam Observatory on Tuesday morning, 05 July 2016."

وقال عضو المشروع السيد حزاري   حج علي أحمد "The new moon crescent was seen at 6.50 local time (15 minutes after sunset) in between cloud breaks through telescopes. Visual naked eyes observation was tried but failed to sight due to sky conditions with clouds especially near the horizon. Observation was conducted by the members of the astronomical society of Brunei Darussalam. "
