6:47 am Sun, Feb 21
Maximum in 53°19'01.8"N, 121°24'49.1"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 53°19'01.8"N, 121°24'49.1"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 53°19'01.8"N, 121°24'49.1"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.
