Maximum in 43°34'29.7"S, 171°33'22.8"E
This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 43°34'29.7"S, 171°33'22.8"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 43°34'29.7"S, 171°33'22.8"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-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. |

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
