Maximum in 27°25'17.4"N, 90°24'24.0"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 27°25'17.4"N, 90°24'24.0"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 27°25'17.4"N, 90°24'24.0"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East.
