This evening (20/9) the Crescent have visible with easily from my location 2nd floor Ash-Shobar Mosque Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It's easy visible by naked eye about five minutes after sunset and seen next few minutes before closed by clouds. This observation followed too by some jamiah masajid after maghrib praying. I have also taken the picture of crescentby my digicam.

Congratulations on your correct prediction of sighting of Shawal Moon. Today, Shawal Moon has been sighted over Bangladesh and Moon Sighting Committee of the Government of Bangladesh has declared that Eid-ul-Fitre will be celebrated tomorrow, September 21. A few days ago, Reporters from RTV, ATN Bangla and Diganta Television came to my office to learn when the Shawal Moon would be sighted. I have shown them Moon Sighting Chart on your Website. All of them were fully convinced by your calculation and prominently telecast the news declaring that Shawal Moon will be sighted over Bangladesh on September 20 which eventually proved correct. Best regards.

On 20th September western horizon was cloudy for that Moon was not visible on Dhaka sky. But Shawwal Moon was visible on other parts of Bangladesh for which tomorrow September 21, 2009 will be the official EID day for Bangladesh. But in TV news, pictures of observing EID already on September 20, 09 at different places of Bangladesh including Dhaka were shown. In the morning, I also attended EID prayer at Dhanmundi Residential area where about 500 men and women attended the prayer. These Muslims started Ramadan from August 22nd, on the basis of information of moon sighting from Australia, Malaysia. Another group of Muslims have been following EID following Saudi Arabia for many years.

Sultan Alam (MCW member) Karachi Pakistan reported: Seen
Sunday 20 September 2009 (29 Ramadhan 1430 in Pakistan) Easily seen countrywide On my request, Today (Sunday 20 September 2009 = 29 Ramadhan 1430 in Pakistan) many hundred persons (Members of the moon-sighting committees of our institute "JAMIA-TUR-RASHEED" + my friends + their companions) tried to sight the moon all over Pakistan and resultantly easily sighted the crescent at more than 25 places. As it was very cloudy in Karachi and some other places hence I and my other friends could not sight the moon in Karachi and some other places. At many places of Sarhad, the weather was clear but many observers could not sight the crescent, the reason may be non expertise of the observers and the low altitude of moon. It is also announced officially that tomorrow i.e. Monday is Eid in Pakistan.Chairman of central official moon-sighting committee of Pakistan "Mufti Munee-bur-Rahman" especially praised the efforts of Jamia-tur-Rasheed in his officially announcement. Alhamdolillah.

Al humdulillah the moon was sighted today (Sep 20) at approximately 5:50 pm high in the sky but very fine and slowly becoming brighter and brighter as it the time moved past 6 pm, but it still remain very fine in length and width. So here in Barbados we would have completed 29 days of fasting in Ramadhan and now will celebrate Eid with muslims, Eid Mubarak.
