| Planets Venus and Mercury were also observed, with Venus being easy to see visually in the telescope | "Faded" was just a relative description as I believe the background light got brighter so that the crescent was perceived to fade |
|---|---|
| However the crescent was sighted as reported from LFNU of East Java, | AR Sugeng Riyadi, Purnomo, Taufiq Hidayat, Nanang Zaenuddin, Sirikit EU, Tri Ratna, Mila Rosyta, and Team |
Tri Ratna were helping the chair to handle the observation equipment.
| As we received negative sighting reports from all over the country approximately from 20 or more sighting places as the weather is hazy and cloudy above the horizon | The crescent could not be seen |
|---|---|
| Other group members observed crescent by naked eye subsequently | Rila Makhdoomy reported as Moulavi Shuhail from Weligama sighted at 5:45am |
I could not see the crescent visually with the same telescoe.
| After a couple of short appearances and fades, it came into sight as a larger crescent and stayed long enough for me to positively identify it as the old moon crescent | Moon crescent was seen by naked eye by Reza Janghorbani and Roya Ghermezi at 19:35 , for the first time |
|---|---|
| I could neither see the moon nor Venus |
