Late July New Moon Spotting

[CentaurZ]

It’s nearly time for my monthly New Moon spotting challenge. I use the term New Moon in its classical sense of one’s first sighting of the Moon after its monthly solar conjunction (Dark Moon). Sharp-eyed observers might attempt to spot the more than one-day-old Moon after sunset on Friday, July 29^th.  Most others should have better luck the following evening.

Curt,

I looked at your page before going out this evening with binos and camera. Foothills west of me complicate windows of opportunity with regard to sky brightness, not to mention neighborhood trees, as seen from my driveway.

I was able to obtain this image, about 33 1/2 hours after New.
