http://tyo.ca/islambank.community/modules/cards/images/HijriNewYear/steppingnewhorizon.jpg[/img] So like I was on Moonsighting.com, and literally as I refreshed the sighting report page for this month, the brother FTP'd an updated webpage and Alhumdulillah, the scrolling text went from 'waiting for...' to 'moon sighted in Cape Town....'  for me this is wicked cool. InshAllah I hope to be able to spot the moon here in The San Francisco BAy Area tonight after Maghrib...you should look for it too. It's fun. It's cool. It's Dick-Clark and Big-Ball-Drop Free and NO fireworks! woo hoo! Happy Hijri New Year folks, sisters and brothers, and googlebots too as they cache this webpage for posterity. Salam, your giddy bro near SFO, ~ HiMY! ~ We now return you to your gregorian calendar.

AsalamAlayKum,
Peace and e-Greetings be upon you.

27 minutes ago from night now, that is at 6:03 pm PST, I saw the
crescent moon from Here in Fremont California, Here are photos on my
website I just uploaded. They are RAW jpgs, forgive the blurriness,
but I uploaded ten of the better captures. Clicking on each thumbnail
twice will get you to the full size of the photo, where the hilal is
much clearer than the default computer screen friendly size:

Photos 'g' and 'i' seem to be the best candidates for photographic confirmation:

The thin crescent is just above the point of the tree to the right of
the utility pole.

The crescent as you can see began at about 3 o'clock and extended
clockwise until about 6:30-ish, if I may put it that way.

I also brought my two nephews, Nazar and Bashar and their
friend Junaid, we all witnessed the Muharram Moon for 1426 with our
naked eye from here in Fremont California at 6:05 pm PST. The sky
above the horizon is cloudy, but above that, the sky is cloud free. I
spent about 5 minutes looking for the moon fearing it was behind the
clouds already. Because of the thinness, it took that long to spot it.

Salam and Happy Hijri New Year!
