accompanying this report, there was quite of an overcast/cloudy sky to deal with being the exact area where the new moon was, was totally covered with a huge size of cloud and remained that way until I left off my gazing out for it at 19:09.
But in between time, it made its appearing through the clouds at which time I sighted it first at 18:32 until it disappeared after five minutes at 18:37. I kept on looking and arriving low down to the horizon, it reappeared at 18:57 and again disappeared in five minutes at 19:02 and made a third appearing five minutes thereafter at 19:07.
I left off my new moon observation at 19:09.
There was the Venus in sight throughout my new moon search and sighting.
New moon;s position was vertical with the cup side of it facing south, tilting a bit backwards to the north. It's location was south of sunset and north of Venus but, closer to where the sun set.
It was sighted from Israel and elsewhere as well this evening.

Happy biblical eighth new moon day this week Monday 07th October 2013 to all, being the biblical eighth new moon was sighted this Sunday evening 06th October 2013 after the sunset-end of the lunar 30th day.
