Scholars have differed regarding the consideration of different moonrise horizons, and the preponderant opinion is to consider them. Therefore, it was obligatory not to adopt the sighting of the people of Iraq due to the difference in the moonrise horizon, unless you both were following those who do not consider it, in which case there is no blame upon you. As for the Eid prayer, it should have been performed on the day of Eid al-Fitr, and performing it on the second day is considered a valid and sufficient make-up.
