Which moon do you follow for Hajj?

assalamoualaikoum

when I 'm in my country I follow the local sighting for the month of zul hijjah. When I went for Hajd I'd no other option than following Saudi because I was located there even if their sightings may be faulty.

On a different note can you please explain they sighted the moon yesterday when it was around 12hours old and the moon set was 4 mins after sunset? Remember I don't have any problem with global sighting but we should be certain that the sighting is correct.
