Not a good idea

I'm abandoning the moon sighting mission. It wasn't a good idea. Maghrib is late because it's summer now. So, the sunset is pretty late. I can't really do moon sighting from home. The trees are blocking my line of sight.

I guess the best place to view the crescent would probably be on a beach or the top of the mountain.

Anyway, I just found out that the Saudis are again doing the moon sighting wrongly or they probably don't care anymore. Some are taking Friday as the first of the month of Ramadhan. There's no way you can ever see the crescent today. It's astronomical impossible except for a few places in South America and Africa.

Still waiting to see some official anouncement.
