Notes: Two JAS members: Eng. Mohammad Odeh and Mr. Tarek Katbeh went

 to Alrajef mountain (220 km to the south of Amman), we arrived about

 5 min. after the sunset, the horizon was clear but with some clouds.

 We were afraid at that time of not being able to align the LX200 GPS

 telescope on time, but Odeh managed to do that in less than 10 min!!!

 then the telescope was moving 2 the location of the moon, and we saw

 the thin beautiful crescent in the center of the field. After that we

 saw it by binocular but never by naked eye.
