#If someone forgot until sunset, it is possible to count during ben hashemashot and later that night continue to count with a bbracha. In such a case a person should be careful to continue to count each subsequent day at night and not ben hashemashot. For this purpose a person should only employ the ben hashemashot of the geonim and not rabbenu tam.<ref>Piskei Teshuvot 489:24, Chazon Ovadia p. 238</ref> | |||
#If someone forgot to count until they accepted Shabbat and davened maariv early, it is still possible to count without a bracha, and then continue that night to count with a bracha.<ref>Piskei Teshuvot 489:24 quoting the Shaarei Teshuva, Igrot Moshe 4:99, and Shraga Hameir 6:41 based on Taz 600</ref> | |||
