Extreme waning crescents, that is.
Southern/eastern hemisphere night owls and early risers have an opportunity to catch a lunar sliver less than 24 hours from New Moon (26 March, 1608 UT).
Dawn crescent attempts also have the advantage of a generally cleaner sky and possible detection with more fully dark-adapted eyes.
