We saw the new moon! At our latitude the new moon was calculated to only be visible under perfect conditions. Well the conditions are perfect. Happy Yom Teruah to all of Yahweh’s children! May Yahweh’s blessings be upon your families during the autumn appointments. DS (7 observers)

Thank You our heavenly Father Yahweh for sustaining us through to this evening of Your holy seventh day Sabbath and naked eye sighting Your new moon start of Your biblical lunar sixth (6th) month Elul (Nehemiah 6:15).

Sunset was at 18:17 when my search for the 37 hr 14 mins old biblical sixth (6th) new moon started this Friday evening 2nd September 2016 and sighted it at 18:31 (14 minutes after sunset) in the midst of haze and so, it was dim at time of first sighting but became somewhat a bit brighter as it got darker, at which point, Moses Ford (uncle to the three children of a deceased sister of mines) I met where I stood in search of the new moon, was able of sighting it at 18:41 (10 minutes after I sighted it).

Because of the hazy condition of where the new moon was located, you will see in these photoshttps://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1082464215123162.1073741936.100000787822166&type=1&l=02c50b1974 that I was able to get a hold of the brighter star that was located in the non hazy area at the top left of the new moon but couldn’t get a photographic hold of the new moon itself located at the bottom right of the brighter star. I say brighter star because also, there was such of a dim star quite close to and directly in front of the top horn of the new moon.

It was 18:55 when I left off observing the new moon this weekly holy seventh day Sabbath (Shavat) evening.

Happy Shavat and sixth (6th) new moon day to all this week Saturday 3rd September 2016 in praise, worship and thanksgiving to Yahweh our Creator!
