In Kuwait on Friday 18 June 2004 I could not sight the crescent even with 20*60 binocular. The western horizon was gray hazy, fine dusty & windy especially the last 6 degrees.

Because of bad weather conditions I could not see the crescent here on June 18. It is cloudy with very few breaks only.

On Thursday 17 June 2004, impossible to be sighted the moon in England because the moon age is about 1 hour. On Friday 18 June 2004, Me and other Muslims made an attempt to sight the crescent moon with naked eye at Cradley Heath Mosque area. The crescent Moon wasn't visible. On the sattelite picture I could see a thin crescent, this proves that the crescent moon would be difficult to be sighted in England. The Imam decision was Jumada al Oula would begin on Saturday 19 June 2004. Hopefully the crescent moon would be sighted on Saturday 19 June 2004, it be a second night crescent. I will make another attempt to sight the crescent Saturday.

First seen with binocular at 18:40

Last seen with naked eyes at 20:00
