Good info, thanks. But you'll have to post a picture for me; inversion layer here means sky is invisible. I just went out to check.
Meanwhile, somewhere it looks like this?
Happy New Year

Maybe 25 years ago there was an article in Sky & Telescope about observers trying to break the record on seeing the newest new moon. I think the best anyone had done by that time was 17 hours after the astronomical new moon. I don't know if anyone has done better than that--but the 17 hours was achieved under exceptionally favorable conditions, so I doubt anyone can see the moon only 12 hours after astronomical new moon.
