Maximum in 41°15'01.5"S, 173°22'52.2"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 41°15'01.5"S, 173°22'52.2"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 41°15'01.5"S, 173°22'52.2"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 East for the best view of the eclipse.
