New moon of Abib greetings from Dominica to all.
It was not a difficulty at all for Bro. Mathias Francis and I to had spotted the new moon of Abib at 18:26 this Sunday evening 18th March 2018 as the area where both it and Venus was located were extremely clear. Also calling in their confirmation was Bro. Craig Massicot family of two that they sighted it at 18:32. It’s a new moon that not only the four of us have seen but will learn later the amount that has seen it https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1624507767585468.1073741967.100000787822166&type=1&l=e6fc04398e
A joyous new moon of Abib evening worship service to all in acknowledgment of the start of the biblical first month of the year from this evening sunset.
Shalom and Yahweh bless,

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
Another easy sighting tonight, 18 January 2018. The sky was very clear. The sighting was just 12 minutes after local sunset here in west-central New Mexico. DM (2 observers)
As a result, the 11th biblical month, the month of Shevat, will begin at sunset Thursday, January 18.
Rosh Chodesh Sameach! (Happy New Month)

Shalom Aleichem,
The tenth new moon is estimated to be visible in most locations on 19 December at sunset. Here in eastern Australia, the likelihood of seeing the new moon on 19 December is really low due to the expected brightness of the new moon at sunset.
Share your new moon sighting.
