Samy Khadem-Al-Charieh (Moonsighting.com member) from Tehran, Iran reported: Seen
This month my report is from Tehran, Iran. I saw the crescent from 20:50 till 21:00 local time with binoculars.
It was not possible for me to see it with naked eye. But I think the reason for this is the heavy air pollution.
I saw it near the surrounding mountains it was very dimmed red.
