Maximum in 29°39'56.8"S, 27°00'12.7"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 29°39'56.8"S, 27°00'12.7"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 29°39'56.8"S, 27°00'12.7"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.
