Roseau, Dominica
Greetings to all on this Thursday evening 18th January 2018 when I naked-eye-sighted the biblical eleventh new moon Sebat (Zechariah 1:7) from Roseau, Dominica at 18:05. Also sighting it together with me is Mr. Emile George of the west coast community of Colihaut.
Happy new moon day to all,

The new crescent moon (a very thin sliver) was first spotted in the western skies above the dimming glow of the sunset, with the naked eye, at approximately 5:58 PM Mountain Standard Time. The crescent set at about 7:05 PM. View of the moon was obscured about half of this time, due to the presence of heavy artificial clouds in the low western skies. KR
