Maximum in 51°37'17.9"N, 38°08'24.8"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 51°37'17.9"N, 38°08'24.8"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 51°37'17.9"N, 38°08'24.8"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 West-southwest for the best view of the eclipse.
